See and free up the space Rooster uses

Rooster's recordings and exports live in folders you can see, like Downloads. Alongside them it keeps working files in its own folder. Settings > Storage shows what they are and how much room they take.

What is there

Category	What it is	Can it be cleared?
Rendered clips	Studio Sound, Eye Contact, Green Screen and Blur Background results	Yes - Rooster can render them again, which takes as long as it did the first time
Generated B-roll	Clips made with your fal.ai key	No - a new generation costs credit and gives a different clip
Thumbnails	Poster frames for the Media rail	Yes - rebuilt when needed
Audio measurements	Waveforms and pauses Rooster measured	Yes - measured again when a project opens
Speech model	Parakeet, for transcription	Yes - downloaded again at the next transcription
Project library	Your projects	No - never removed

Your recordings and exports are not counted here, because they are not in Rooster's folder.

Measure again refreshes the sizes.

Clear something

Press the button under a category - such as Empty the thumbnail cache… or Remove the speech model…. Rooster works out what can go, then says how much space it will free, and what it will keep, before you confirm.

For rendered clips, the button is Remove renders no project can reach…. Rooster keeps any render a project still plays, or that Undo could bring back.

Rooster will not clear anything while a window is open over the project, which is where effects and exports run, and will not remove the speech model while a transcription is running.

Find the folder

The page shows the folder's location. Finder hides it; copy the path into Finder's Go to Folder to look inside. The speech model is stored separately, so it is not in that folder.
