Cleanup Local Cache in the 3DEXPERIENCE Files on This PC Tab (2025 SP2)

You can remove unused files from your local cache in the 3DEXPERIENCE Files on This PC tab using the Cleanup tool.

Benefits: This tool helps you free up disk space on your local machine and simplifies file organization without affecting files stored on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

To use the Cleanup tool:
  1. In the Task Pane, click the 3DEXPERIENCE Files on this PC tab. Then click Cleanup in the toolbar.
  2. In the dialog box, select a timeframe to delete files based on their Last Refreshed date on the platform.
You can also remove files manually using the Delete from this PC command:
  1. Right-click the files and select Delete from this PC in the 3DEXPERIENCE Files on This PC tab.
  2. If the files contain an assembly or multibody parts, select one of these options:
    • Delete only the selected files. Removes the chosen files but keeps the referenced files intact.
    • Delete the selected files and their references. Removes the chosen files along with their references.
Deleting files removes them from your local cache but remain available on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. The 3DEXPERIENCE Files on This PC tab refreshes automatically.
Files cannot be deleted if:
  • An assembly contains references that do not meet deletion conditions.
  • Files have local modifications.
  • Files are open in the current session.
  • Files are locked by you.
A warning message will appear, if no files meet the criteria for deletion.
