fslogix exclusions

Hi all,

We have a customer using fslogix and their profile container is starting to bloat due to this folder:

AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Service Worker\CacheStorage

Do anyone know if it is safe to add to the redirectons.xml file as an explusions without breaking chrome or losing their chrome data?

thanks in advance.

Steve.

    Hello @AdminSRV ,

    The redirections.xml file instructs the FSLogix agent to redirect specific folders out of the profile container and into the local C: drive. Any part of the profile that is excluded is deleted at sign-out.

    It is important to understand the performance impacts of implementing exclusions for Profile Containers. Ensure that the Redirections.xml that you implement in your environment is well tested before moving into production.

    Best regards,
    Leila

    Hello @AdminSRV ,

    How are things going there on this issue? Have you tested if there's any influence to the users after excluding all Chrome and Edge cache from FSlogix?

    Hi guys

    We have added the above locations and more to the redirections.xml file and we are in process of testing if Chrome/EDGE don't complain about it. I will let you know the outcome of the test in a week or so.
