1. Stop the SharePoint timer service. My  preference is command prompting this: net stop sptimerv4
2. Locate the SharePoint cache folder: \ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config\{Guids Folders} . Locate the Guid folder that contains a file called cache.ini. We won’t delete this file. We will delete all files in the folder (but the cache.ini). Recycle bin them if you’re feeling better. Edit the cache.ini file and replace the number in it with something else.
3. Restart the SharePoint timer service, net start sptimerv4
4. Watch the cache (Guid folder) cleaned in step 2 being repopulated with files. Check the cache.ini file’s content, your temporary value will be gone.
