Adobe Premiere disk cached 50Gig

EDIT: Since I can't delete this - just ignore. I found where the menu is to "tame" the caching. It looks like if I ever uninstall it, I will have to do manual cleaning of the cache.

I just installed Adobe Premiere a few days ago. Today it started having problems not loading videos and not closing. I found that My disk is almost full. I found 47 Gig of files under:
C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\common/Media Cache Files.
Copies of all the videos I have been playing with.

I can manually delete them but is there a way to tell Premiere to clean up after itself? And a way to limit the space it grabs?

I was playing with the transcription speech to text feature and was overwriting the default project each time. I don't see why it is keeping everything I ever did. When I say close project and don't save it should delete all the temporary files.

Because most programmers
(some of which prefer to call themselves "software ENGINEERS" )
are incredibly-stupid.
