Change the location of Fusion 360 file folders and check the Fusion 360 files and delete the unwanted pics and drawing file otherwise move the drawing into other folder

Fusion 360 data files are stored in the cloud, not on you local computer. Unless you've placed a lot of projects in the offline cash or have many crashes and associated recovery fines I don't see that as a solution.

@TrippyLighting A solution could be, that F360 would allow a shorter offline cache time period. Shorter than 60 days...

@Anonymous, if you are willing to try, can you give the "Clear User Cache" command a try? You should be careful with this, however, because it will do exactly as it says - it clears all the cached data that Fusion puts on your local drive. This can impair your ability to work offline, for instance.

Also, did your repair person give any indication where this data was being stored? How did this person decide that Fusion was the culprit? As @TrippyLighting suggested, has Fusion been crashing a lot on you? Because Fusion does capture a sizable data set when a crash happens.

@jeff_strater:Is there a reason why the minimum value was set to 60 days?

I looked into that a bit. There doesn't seem to be a really good reason why this was set to 60 days. It's a good idea to reduce this, I agree. I'll enter a request for this.

Follow up: This change is now in progress. I'm not sure what the new minimum will be, but it will be significantly less than 60 days. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

another follow-up. This has been fixed on our main developer branch. It should appear in the next update. The default is now 15 days, and the minimum is 7. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
