How to Remove MSOcache for Office 2007
- 1). Navigate to the "MSOcache" folder. This can be done by double-clicking the "My Computer" icon, selecting the "C:" drive and then clicking "Program Files." Inside "Program Files," there will be a "Microsoft Office 2007" folder. Double-click the folder and look for the "MSOcache" folder.
- 2). Select the folder and click "Delete." If you are able to delete the folder, the removal process is now complete. However, what most likely will happen is when you click "Delete," you will be greeted with a message stating that the file is in use or that it cannot be removed. This is because Office has placed locks on the folder to keep it from moving to a different location or being removed. For this, you'll need a special "Unlocker" tool.
- 3). Leave the "Program Files" window open. In Resources, you'll find a link available for a free unlocker program. Click the link to be taken to the download page. Download the file by clicking the blue "Unlocker" button.
- 4). Initiate the installation wizard by double-clicking the download's desktop icon. Follow the prompts to complete installation.
- 5). Return to the MSOcache folder. This time, right-click it. A pull-down menu will appear. Select "Unlocker" from the list. A new window will appear. It will display all the locks keeping the file from being manipulated. Now click "Quit." The locks have now been removed.
- 6). Select the folder again and click "Delete." This time, a window asking if you're sure you want to remove the folder will appear. Click "Yes," and MSOcache will be removed.
