Hello everyone, I’m new to IT and faced a challenge with deleting a cached file on Windows 11. The workstation uses several profiles, and the file appears in different locations like %appdata% or program files x86. Right now, I have to remove it manually per profile. I’m wondering if there’s a better method—perhaps a master folder that can clear all caches at once?

Consider using Directory Junction. For example, create links like... mklink /j ../profile1 /appdata/cache x :/cache/profile1 Then move everything in x:/cache/. If the cache files are interchangeable, you can link them directly and remove the folders. This way all profiles share the same cached files, which might be a better approach.
