Can MSOCache be deleted safely?

Anonymous

There's a folder on my C: drive which takes up more than 6GB, and I need space on the drive by deleting this. I heard that it shouldn't be deleted since then you can't change components of Office, but I'm not planning to. Can this be deleted safely without significant consequences if not planning to change components/install/uninstall Office?

Details:

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 64-bit

Office version: Microsoft Office 2010, Visio 2010, Project 2010

Microsoft 365 and Office | Install, redeem, activate | For home | Other

    What size is C:\ and what free space do you have?

    Any other internal drives?

    Can you delete; yes & no, you will need the full office cd's to repair or reinstall

    Thanks for the quick answer.

    My C drive is 109 GB large, only 18 GB free space which isn't a lot, and lots of things I need are still missing.

    There is a 30 GB D drive, but that's only for family stuff like pictures, movies and music so I'm not allowed to put personal files there, sadly. And 27 GB is filled up with those.

    I do have the installation file on my PC, so no worries about that.

    Edit: Alright, deleted MSOCache entirely, still able to do anything with the installer.
