Good morning ,

would have any way to clear this cache of automated machines? any script that I can put in the GPO or in the machine itself even if I do this every week?

Do you have a ready-made bat or script to do this because when it reaches a certain size, it starts to slow down, or if you can increase it, that would be cool too.

This the workspace location where is downloads are and where it saves files the modified files. when you say automated machines, like a CAD worker? Yes, you can whack that and I typically whack the .wf folder since the CAD worker can rebuilt the server registry.  If this is a user's machine, no, do not delete that folder as it would lose their local work that is not checked in.

hello everything is fine

I believe I didn't explain it directly, I need some script or something that every week it clears after a while it gets very slow, today we do it manually

What is likely slowing things down is likely not the amount of data in that folder but rather the number of objects in the workspace. Deleting the local cache does not affect this since on recreation, those workspaces are still on the server with the same number of objects on them. Users should be trained to delete or clear workspaces periodically after a job is completed. This should have the same affect and the local cache will manage itself. You can also set an upper limit on the local cache through a preference.
