Where is Creo Chromium-browser-cache located?

[C4DG33K]

I am using Creo Parametric Release 11.0 and Datecode11.0.6.0

Unable to find where Creo Chromium-browser-cache is located for Creo 11.0.6.0 on the client to be able to clear it at every Creo start.

If PTC_WF_ROOT is not set then the cache is in:

%LOCALAPPDATA%/PTC/Creo/Platform/Zbrowser

if PTC_WF_ROOT is set then the cache is in:

%PTC_WF_ROOT%/.ssrd

Hi RandyJones, thanks for swift answer.
PTC_WF_ROOT is set.
Now tested, deleting the .ssrd folder did clear the browser cache!

So, deleting the .ssrd folder or everything in it, at Creo start should clear the browser cache!?

Yep. We do the same thing with a custom Creo Parametric startup .bat.

Here everything works as expected, but I've noticed that some users doesn't get the updated Info Page (html and js-combo) we have as web_browser_homepage, when I from time-to-time update info there.
Found out recently it might have to do with local browser cache and the hunt was on.
Thanks for the help! 🖖

The location of the cache is subject to change. It used to be a folder called zbcef_profile. Sometime during the Creo Parametric 10 releases it changed to what we have now. So this is something you need to put on your list of verifying when updating Creo Parametric.

You can verify the location by typing chrome://version/ into the browser address bar and it will give you that as well as other information.

Thanks for the reminder, now when you mention it, I remember I've used that method before. 👍

FYI - Within the embedded browser in Creo Parametric, enter the address "chrome://version/".  It will display information about Chromium which includes the full cache path.
