Windows 10 - remote desktop cache

Question

_{Monday, August 31, 2015 7:31 PM | 1 vote}

I've been referred to this site, by asking a question here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-other_settings/windows-10-remote-desktop-cache/3d58eb63-a0b0-4cbb-ab43-e41c0902f727?tm=1440936388588&auth=1

So, basically: how can I delete the cache of remote desktop? This can take potentially up to 500MB disk, but there's no option to clear it? thanks in advance!

Simply delete the contents of
C:\Users\username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Cache.

You can also disable the cache:

1. Run mstsc.exe
2. Show Options
3. On the Experience tab, clear the Persistent bitmap caching check box.
4. Save the settings.

Depending on the connection this may significantly impact performance.
Frankly, in this day and age of cheap storage I'm surprised that someone
would be overly concerned about a 500 MB cache.
