1. Stop the Windows SharePoint Services Timer service (Found in Windows Services)
2. Navigate to the cache folder
   
   Drive:\ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config
   Locate the folder that has the file "Cache.ini"
   (Note: The Application Data folder may be hidden. To view the hidden folder, change the folder options as required)
3. Back up the Cache.ini file.
4. Delete all the XML configuration files in the GUID folder. Do this so that you can verify that the GUID folder is replaced by new XML configuration files when the cache is rebuilt.
5. Note When you empty the configuration cache in the GUID folder, make sure that you do not delete the GUID folder and the Cache.ini file that is located in the GUID folder.
