No write permissions for the selected cache path

PostFri Dec 25, 2020 5:40 am

I log into Davinci 16 and update it. The new version installs and when I make a project and open it, I get this:
"DaVinci Resolve does not have write permissions for the selected cache path. Ensure that permissions are setup correctly for the path C:\Users\Alex\ Videos\DaVinci Resolve\Media Storage\CacheClip Alternatively, you can update the cache path in Project Settings under Master Settings."

In preferences, my media storage goes to: C;\Users\Alex\Videos\DaVinci Resolve
Davinci Resolve


My cache file location is:C:\Users\Alex\Videos\DaVinci Resolve\Media Storage\CacheClip
My gallery stills location is: C:\Users\Alex\Videos\DaVinci Resolve\.gallery

I've checked all folders and they have permission to read and write for my user. (I'm the only one) I've also uninstalled and re-installed it but it keeps all my projects and data so idk.

Please help I'm pretty new to this. Also, If there is a way I can delate all of its data, I will because I have no Projects or anything in Davinci Resolve 16.

You're using an Admin account? (If not, do so.)
My Biases:

You NEED training.
You NEED a desktop.
You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.

Being the only account doesn't necessarily mean it's an Admin account. You're certain it is?
