Fix cache error in Adobe Bridge

Written By Herman Yung

Ever get this error in Adobe Bridge?

Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in cache preferences to correct the situation.

It doesn't seem to go away even after your purge the cache in the app preferences, so here's how to fix it.

1. Close Bridge.
2. Hold down CMD+OPTION+SHIFT and open Bridge again.
3. You will see a dialog box. Check "Reset Preferences" and "Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache".

That's it. That should fix the original error dialog box and make Bridge run smoothly again. Do note though that you'll have to set all your preferences again including folder favorites.
