Hello Sokoban,

You can try with the following script and deploy it as a configuration item or baseline:

$now = Get-Date
$writeTime = $now.AddDays(-21)
$CMObject = New-Object -ComObject "UIResource.UIResourceMgr"
$CMCacheObjects = $CMObject.GetCacheInfo()
$CMCacheElements = $CMCacheObjects.GetCacheElements()
$CMCacheElements | Where {$_.LastReferenceTime -le $writeTime} | ForEach-Object {$CMCacheObjects.DeleteCacheElement($_.CacheElementID)}
$FilePath = "C:\Windows\ccmcache"
Get-ChildItem -Path $FilePath -recurse | Where {($_.LastAccessTime -le $writeTime) -and ($_.PSISContainer) -eq $false} | Remove-Item -Recurse -Force
do {
	$CountDir = Get-ChildItem -path $FilePath -recurse | Where {($_.LastAccessTime -le $writeTime) -and ($_.PSISContainer -eq $true) -and ($_ | Get-ChildItem).Count -eq 0}
	$CountDir | Remove-Item -Recurse -Force
	$i++
	} While (($i -lt 100) -and ($CountDir.count -gt 0))

This will delete all content older than 21 days.

Hello Sokoban,

From your console, if you go to the device then check the applied client settings, do you have the same config?

Does the 20% percent aligned with the 60Gb consumed?

Answer 3

Do you have this behavior on multiple machines? Does the ConfigMgr client version up-to-date?

Try the following PS command on one affected machine and check the result:

powershell -command "Get-WmiObject -Namespace ROOT\CCM\SoftMgmtAgent -Query 'Select Size from CacheConfig'"

Hi, @Sokoban

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

We may try to adjust the size of the client cache by using the cache size settings available in Client Settings in the Configuration Manager console.

And check if the new client setting will overwrite the client cache size for the several clients.

Answer 5

I have still the problem, over 60 GB size in ccmcache

Scenario:

• CB 2211 with hotfix Rollup (KB16643863)
• The client have the latest client version 5.00.9096.1024
• Resultant Client Settings show:

Maximum cache size (MB) 20120

Maximum cache size (percentage of disk) 20

Minimum duration before the client can remove cached content (Minutes) 1440

What can I do , maybe is a bug ?

What is the Client Settings do ? Warning or Clean-Up ?
