Marketplace Original Files

When you initially download files from the asset store, it takes a few minutes. If you remove the project files and re-download that same asset, it takes less than 30 seconds. So the assets must be downloaded from the asset store somewhere on the computer other than your “Unreal Projects” folder as they don’t need a long download when re-downloading on a clean project.

Does anyone know where these files are stored?

Hi Kasey,

Check your ‘Vault Cache’

By default it’s C:\ProgramData\Epic\EpicGamesLauncher\VaultCache

The ‘ProgramData’ folder is hidden, so you might need to enable hidden folders to see it.

You can change the cache location in Launcher Settings → ‘Edit Vault Cache Location’

Cheers
