Last night, Adobe released the 11.1.2 update for Premiere Pro, fixing a major bug in its Media Cache management. Prior to this release, activating that feature risked deleting all media files.
“The most important change with 11.1.2 is addressing issues introduced with the Media Cache management feature (added in 11.1 and already updated with 11.1.1). While 11.1.1 restricted cache management preference to be applied to files within the Media Cache folder structure, 11.1.2 will only apply the preference to media cache files of a known file type (such as *.pek, *.ims and *.cfa).

Additionally, the Media Cache management will be off by default.” (Adobe’s blog)
