About AE Purger
AE Purger is a lightweight plugin for Adobe After Effects designed to clear the program’s cache and purge RAM directly within the application. Developed by Renico van Wyk, the tool provides two core functions: cache clearing and RAM purging, both executed without leaving After Effects. The current release, version 1.2 (dated May 10, 2025), is compatible with After Effects 2025 and 2024 and introduces an alert that informs users rendered files will be removed when the cache is cleared. Earlier versions 1.0 and 1.1 were released earlier in 2025. AE Purger is listed in the aescripts library as a free offering, and a demo video is available on the developer’s page for reference.
