Microsoft Office: Remove MSOCache
The folder only contains a few Microsoft Office installation files that were transferred from the CD to the PC for faster installation. In theory, you can just delete the folder in the path "C: \ MSOCache", but better, you do it like this:
- Press the [Windows] and [R] keys simultaneously so that the "Execute" command opens.
- Enter "cleanmgr" here and confirm with "OK". Select the desired hard disk here and confirm again with "OK".
- Disk cleanup now searches for unnecessary files, including the MSOCache.
- Then activate the "Office Setup files" option and confirm the process with the "OK" button.
