Cleaning Up CSC Folders

C:\Windows\CSC folder is the offline files folder. It has special permissions. Without the correct permission, you won't be able to delete anything in it

To delete the content of C:\Windows\CSC, you need to modify its permissions

> cd c:\Windows
> takeown /f CSC /r /a /d y
> icacls CSC /grant Administrators:F

Then you can navigate to the folder and start deleting files

Remove Offline Folder Share

Continuing from my previous blog about migrating file and print server, the clients might try to sync the offline folder to both old and new server. To fix this

disable offline folders
delete all the files in c:\windows\csc
enable offline folders
