Windows 10: System32 WebCache webcachev01.dat

So I found this file called webcachev01.dat which is 26mb long on my Windows via Treesize. Is it ok to delete it without any issues like Windows Update fails? The webcachev01.dat file is in System32 / Config / SystemProfile / AppData / Local / Microsoft / Windows, turn hide protected system files then webcache. It's 26mb long, not much but is it ok to delete?

How to fix timestamp mismatch for WebCacheV01.dat?

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



In regards to your concern, please help me with the following questions:

1. May I know the purpose of checking the timestamp for WebCache file?

2. Are you trying to delete the WebCacheV01.dat file from the computer?



In case you are looking for the update time on the WebCacheV01.dat file, the time gets changed once we restart the computer. The settings are set by-design and we need to restart every time to change the updated time for WebCacheV01.dat.



We await your response.

Disable WebCacheV01.dat


Hi all, especially Sujay I hope.

I have just updated Windows 10 to the Aniversary version.
I have followed all the steps set out by Sujay to eliminate Windows – Continuous Disk Write + WebCacheV01.dat + V01.log – Issue

I have disabled “CacheTask“. To find this, open Task Scheduler from Administrative Tools, navigate to Microsoft > Windows > Wininet.
And I have eliminated the GUID
{3EB3C877-1F16-487C-9050-104DBCD66683}

But I still have WebCacheV01.dat in this folder: C:\Users\XXXXXXX\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache

And this file is 26MB and always come up when I run CCleaner.
Any help would be much appreciated to totally eliminate this.

Oh, one other thing, if I open REGEDIT and search for the GUID
{3EB3C877-1F16-487C-9050-104DBCD66683}
I only find it in:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WOW6432Node\CLSID\{0358b920-0ac7-461f-98f4-58e32cd89148}
Predetermined Type REG_SZ Data Wininit Cache Task Object
AppID Type REG_SZ {3EB3C877-1F16-487C-9050-104DBCD66683}


I would be gratefull for any help possible
