SharePoint 2010 | Clear SharePoint Cache
SharePoint caches the content (Could be images, etc.) in two of its system folders.
The cache is composed of these 2 folders:
- %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache
- %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache
In order to clear the cache, simply delete the files in these two folders.
I even created a batch file for doing this, which allows you to automate this function either as a scheduled job or manually by clicking on the batch file.
========Script Start below===================
cd “%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache”
del *.web /S /Q “%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache”
cd “%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache\”
rmdir /S /Q “%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache\.”
mkdir “%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache”
dir “%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache”
dir “%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache”
========Script End========================
