Deleting Office 365 Cached Files

You may find you have an issue opening a shared document within SharePoint or OneDrive, resulting in an error such as:

"Sorry, we coudn't open 'filename and filepath here' "

If so, you can try these steps which often resolve the issue:

  1. Close all MS Office files and programs
  2. Launch FILE EXPLORER
  3. Expand C:\Users[USER NAME]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\16.0\
    • If you don’t see the AppData folder, simply enable the viewing of hidden files
  4. Rename the folder OfficeFileCache
