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

Like @avillanueva and @ScottMorris said, the size of the cache is not the likely cause of the slowness. It's common practice to wipe the cache folders on CAD workers but on user systems I only ever do it when the cache needs to be rebuilt (cache corruption, Creo to non-Creo cross contamination). You can create a start up script that starts with a clean cache every time or you can create a clean up .bat that runs on a schedule through the OS... it will delete data though. 

 

What sort of slowness are you seeing? 

One thing that worked for us to improve speed was adding anti-virus exclusions to particular cache folders (CS50545).
