Google Earth

[pwillener]

Used a tool 'JDiskReport' today, and I found that the second-largest file (after the page file) was Google Earth's dbCache.dat in %APPDATA%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\GoogleEarth.

 

I have Google Earth checked in CCleaner, but it does not seem to touch that file.

 

I wonder if that file could be cleaned (set to zero size, or deleted altogether), as I do not use Google Earth very often.

It looks like Google moved the file from where is originally saved

the embedded winapp.ini has the file in %appdata%

[Google Earth]
ID=2112
LangSecRef=3021
Detect=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Google\Google Earth Plus
Detect2=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Google\Google Earth Pro
Default=True
FileKey1=%appdata%\Google\GoogleEarth|dbcache.dat
FileKey2=%appdata%\Google\GoogleEarth|dbcache.dat.index
RegKey1=HKCU\Software\Google\Google Earth Plus\Search
RegKey2=HKCU\Software\Google\Google Earth Pro\Search

 

Please add this to your winapp2.ini

Thank you very much - most kind of you!

 

That makes quite a difference on my old machine...

 

I will soon open a new topic regarding AVG9
