Hello @JasonPan - MSFT

Thank you for your response.

I just checked C:\ProgramData\Package Cache location but there is no {1aa410b3-fc9c-4b29-8e0d-84542b53e7f6} folder.

I personally didn't clear the package cache. Is there a way to check if the package cache was cleared recently?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi @Mark Marco,

After my attempt, I couldn't find the deletion record of the file. However, we can enable Audit Policy on Folder in EventViewer, and future changes to the folder will be recorded.

You can check whether the third-party optimization software is installed, and it is possible that the third-party software has performed this operation to free up disk space.

In addition, if there is a Windows update recently, it may also cause the loss of some cache files.

So, I'd like to know your specific needs, such as a script to check if the cache file exists before executing it to avoid this error.

Best Regards

Jason
