Vista Squad

If you've ever noticed your c:\msocache can be quite big.  From my investigation this seems to be filled with Office install files.

I don't need them, and I doubt you do either.  Here are the steps to get rid of them:

1. Click Start
2. Type: Disk Cleanup
3. Chose "Files from all users on this computer"
4. From the Drives list in the Select Drive dialog box, select the hard drive that contains the Msocache folder
   
5. Select the Office Setup Files checkbox in the Files to Delete list
   
6. Click OK. 
7. When you are asked Are you sure you want to delete these files? select Yes

Office 2007 I think it was when I ran the delete.

Following on from Ray's tip on cleaning up disk space,

If you have installed Vista's Service pack 1 and are truly happy every thing is working well, there are some files that can be cleaned up to save some space.

When the service pack installs it automatically backs up all of the system files and settings these can be removed by the following

Start - All Programs - Accessories - Run - VSP1CLN.exe

Remember once done you won't be able to uninstall SP1
