Failed to create GICache directory at the default location

Unity Engine
1

hello, for some reason i am getting this error constantly in the editor and i have no idea why, “Failed to create GICache directory at the default location: C:/Users/Otis/AppData/LocalLow/Unity/Caches/GiCache.”.

any info on how to fix this would be great since it’s really annoying, i get it every frame so it just stacks thousands of them in the console.

thanks.

Start your Project → go to Edit > Preferences > GI Cache → choose custom cache location → choose a custom folder → clean your old cache - and thats it. — Unity - Manual: GI cache
