Procedure to clearing the ConfigMgr (SCCM) client local cache (CCM cache) -Resolving Disk space isssue

  • Article

Essentially the client cache is a temporary download location for software, applications and software updates that are deployed to a client

By default, the client cache is located %windir%\ccmcache but you do have the option of changing this at install time by using the SMSCACHEDIR parameter e.g. CCMSetup.exe SMSCACHEDIR=C:\Temp.

By default, the cache size is 5120 MB, but again we can change this by using the SMSCACHESIZE parameter at install time e.g. CCMSetup.exe SMSCACHESIZE=10240. This would install the client with a cache size of 10GB. You can also change these settings post install either directly on the client itself using the Control Panel applet (See below), or for larger scale changes, by deploying a script.

**Procedure
**
• Navigate to Configuration Manager in Control Panel of the client computer, and then double-click to open its properties.

• Click the cache button.

                                       .

• To delete all of the files currently stored in the temporary program download folder, click Delete Files.

  • Click Yes and close the screen
