How to Clear Microsoft Teams Cache Files?

Simply closing the Microsoft Teams window wouldn’t fully close the app. For that, you need to find the Teams app icon on the taskbar, then right-click on it and select the ‘Quit’ option from the expanded menu.

After closing the Teams desktop app, open the Start menu and type/paste the following in the search box.

a.  From within ‘Application Cache’, go to Cache and delete any of the files in the Cache location.

    *   %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\application cache\cache

 b.  From within ‘Blob_storage’, delete any files that are located in here if any.

    *   %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\blob_storage

 c.  From within ‘Cache’, delete all files.

    *   %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\Cache

 d.  From within ‘databases’, delete all files.

    *   %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\databases

 e.  From within ‘GPUCache’, delete all files.

    *   %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\GPUcache

 f.  From within ‘IndexedDB’, delete the .db file.

    *   %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\IndexedDB

 g.  From within ‘Local Storage’, delete all files.

    *   %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\Local Storage

 h.  Lastly, from within ‘tmp’, delete any file.

    *   %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\tmp

After clearing the folders, you have to restart your computer and relaunch the Microsoft Teams desktop app.
