Change C:\Users\PBIEgwService\AppData ... InetCacheFolder

Is there a way to change the path of the InetCache directory located at C:\Users\PBIEgwService\AppData...? The files in this folder are growing too much every day, and it's causing the server to run out of disk space, eventually leading to it getting stuck.

 

Thanks in advance

    Hi, dsantibanez 

    You can start by creating a new folder in an area of your disk space and then open System Properties, or you can search for "environment variables" in the Start menu. Click Environment variables. Update the TEMP and TMP environment variables to point them to the new folder path (e.g. the new folder is named D:Temp).

  • You can try this 🙂
    To change the InetCache path for PBIEgwService:

    1. Stop the PBIEgwService via services.msc
    2. Create a new folder on a drive with more space.
    3. Update TEMP and TMP environment variables to the new folder path.
    4. Restart the service.

    This will redirect the cache to the new location.
