MS Office Forum / Outlook / Installation and Configuration / January 2005MSOCache
I understand the MSOCache is a Office Setup folder but I thought Disk Cleanup would remove it. I checked the Office Setup Files and ran Disk Cleanup but the folder remains with some files . Can I just delete in Explorer?? James Why do you want to delete it? It's a local cache of your OFfice 2003 install files and will be very useful if you need to add components, apply service packs, or run Detect and Repair.

What is this folder for: Program File\OfficeUpdate11 ??? I found this information on a site called eldergeek - or something like that. I checked out the links to Microsoft and found the information to be useful. I hope this helps,Peter Msocache Folder Quite a few users have asked about a new hidden folder mysteriously appearing on their systems named Msocache. It's related to Microsoft Office 2003 and contains the install source files from the Microsoft Office 2003 installation CD. This is known as a Local Install Source so that you do not have to insert the CD during subsequent setup or repair procedures. A full description of the circumstances under which the folder is created and methods for removing it are in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 825933 - Local Install Source (Msocache). Also, Frequently Asked Questions About the Local Install Source Feature has additional information Sorry - I left these links out of my previous reply. knowledge base article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=825933#appliesto Frequently asked questions: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=830168 |
