In order to clear the cache in Microsoft Project Professional we will start with the product opened with a blank project schedule as shown below.
Important, DO NOT have any project schedules opened at this time in Microsoft Project.
Continue with the following steps:
-
Click the File tab then select Options in the Quick Launch.
-
Once in the Project Options dialog, select the Save(1) page, then click the Clean Up Cache (2) button.
-
In the Clean Up Cache dialog perform the following:
-
-
Select all the projects in the Remove projects from cache section. Use Shift-click to simplify selection.
-
Click the Remove From Cache button.
-
-
Note: The screenshot on the left is before we cleared projects from the cache. The screenshot shows the cleared cache.
-
While still in the Clean Up Cache dialog, change the Project Filter to Projects checked out to you via the drop down list box.
-
If there are any projects showing up in the cache now, perform the same procedure and clear them from the cache (Important, ensure you do not currently have any projects opened!)
-
Select all the projects in the Remove projects from cache(1)section. Use Shift-click to simplify selection.
-
Click the Remove From Cache(2) button.
-
Click the Close button when finished.
