MSOCache

[Bill Ridgeway]

At 7Mb it is not a major problem but I don't like unnecessary clutter.

I have read information at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=825933#appliesto which
suggests removing the Office install files in the folder MSOCache by using
Disk Cleanup. MSOCache is included in the list but with a zero value. The
web site also includes "Warning Never delete the MSOCACHE folder by using
Microsoft Windows Explorer."

Given that the system doesn't seem to recognise the existence of this folder
I'm tempted to just delete it but also to heed the warning. What would
happen if this folder were deleted?

Thanks.
