# Disable Input Caching for Recipes

When you first run a recipe, Data Prep caches the input data, storing a copy of the source data in cached files, by default. To save time during subsequent recipe runs, Data Prep uses the cached data instead of extracting the same data again. To use input caching, the recipe must extract data from all fields in the source.

When the option is enabled, recipe runtime varies based on whether the source data is cached and the cache is used. If the recipe doesn’t extract data from all fields in the source, caching doesn’t happen. If the data is older than 45 days, the disk usage exceeds 70%, or the source data changed since the last recipe run, cached data isn’t used. If needed, you can disable input caching to get more consistent recipe runtimes.

1. From Setup, enter Analytics in the Quick Find box, then select **Settings**.
2. Select **Disable Recipe Input Dataset Caching**.
3. To have more consistent recipe runtimes, you can disable this option.
    
    ![The Disable Recipe Input Dataset Caching option appears under Analytics Settings in Setup.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/bi/bi_setup_recipes_inputCaching.png)
