FSLogix - Optimizing the disk space of virtual disks

Hi.

Noticed that these folders weigh from 1 gigabyte to 5.

  1. Profile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer

  2. Profile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache

  3. System Volume Information

I understand correctly that for the system and the user there is nothing important in the first two folders and I can not store them using the Redirections.xml functionality ?

But what to do with folder 3 ?


Some profiles take more than 10 gigabytes because of these folders, but the user actually has no more than 1 gigabyte of work files.

Any best practices, tips, profile optimization ?

I know how to defragment the disk, compress it, but I do not know how to get rid of garbage in the profile.

Hello @47451047 ,

Thanks for your query.

1.By default the profile container VHD will contain the entire Windows profile for the user, except for:
The TEMP (TMP) folder location
The IE Cache folder location
The redirections.xml file is used to control what folders are redirected out of the profile container to the C: drive. It can also, optionally, sync the contents of these folders to and from the profile container at user sign-out and sign in respectively.
