Update to thebrain consuming too much memory #96019

Hello again!

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I understand the frustration you’re facing, and I’d be happy to help clarify this situation.

When you delete files from TheBrain stored on the F: drive, it should not decrease space on your C: drive. To confirm whether TheBrain’s data is correctly set to the F: drive without spilling over to the C: drive, please follow these steps:

1. Check Storage Settings:
   • Open TheBrain and go to Options > Preferences > Storage.
   • Verify that your Brain data is properly located on the F: drive. If it’s correctly set there, it should not be utilizing space on the C: drive unnecessarily.

2. Recycle Bin Issue:
   • Could you clarify what you mean by not being able to “recycle the Recycle Bin”?
   • Are you seeing any specific errors when trying to empty the Recycle Bin or when files from TheBrain get stuck in it? If so, could you provide a screenshot or more details?

Once we confirm these details, we’ll be able to further investigate why disc space on the C: drive is being affected and suggest the best next steps to resolve this.

Best regards,

John
