MSOCache?

[Guest]

Thought I might as well ask about this too.

Of of the other things it decided to do (im pretty sure during install) was
create a approx 1GB cache called "MSOCache" in one of the other hard drives
(One that it isn't installed on!). The issue is is that that HD is only
20GB, and i can't afford to lose random space like this. Why did it do this
and what is it? And how do I get it to stop doing random things like this
without asking me?

The MSOcache Folder is for a local copy of Microsoft Office's installation source,
so you don't have to insert the Office CD when you add a feature. It is not necessary
to have this folder.
