Clear MS Teams Cache using PowerShell in SCCM Scripts

 

SCCM has scripts that you can use on a machine by simply right clicking and selecting scripts. This powershell script is to clear the Teams cache, to improve performance. I've taken the script from the source below, and modified it so that it will not issue prompts, and can be deployed from SCCM. Simply create an SCCM script using this powershell:

try{

Get-Process -ProcessName Teams | Stop-Process -Force

Start-Sleep -Seconds 3

Write-Host "Teams Process Sucessfully Stopped" -ForegroundColor Green

}catch{

echo $_

}

Write-Host "Clearing Teams Disk Cache" -ForegroundColor Yellow

try{

Get-ChildItem -Path $env:APPDATA\"Microsoft\teams\cache" | Remove-Item -Recurse -Force -Confirm:$false
