    Hi,

    Anyone want to tackle explaining how to delete the MSOCache folder and sub folders under the root directory of my Windows 10? I know it is put there during installation of Office. Presumably to expedite adding features to Office without having to insert the original install media. I, frankly, don't mind having to insert my CD in that event, I'd rather get rid of the folder. Microsoft warns against trying to delete the folder from Windows Explorer. They recommend using disk cleanup. I tried that and it is still there.. I exited Windows and brought up a command prompt in Windows PE and tried to delete it but I got an 'access denied' message. I don't know how to take ownership in Windows PE Command Prompt. Anyone?



    :)

    Hi,

    MSOCache is a hidden folder created by Local Install Source when Office is installed to keep you from using or inserting a CD during the following Setup operations:

    • Detect and Repair
    • Demand Install
    • Maintenance Mode Setup
    • Installation of service packs and patches

    You can delete MSOCache folder if Office is fully installed. Never delete this folder using Windows Explorer.

    For more information on how to remove MSOCache folder, refer to this article.

    Update us with the outcome so we can provide further assistance.

    topgundcp,

    I have takeownership but it can only be used while in Windows and I am trying to delete the folder from WindowsPE. Did you delete MSOCache from Windows Explorer? If so, apparently it caused you no problem?
