Purpose of Offline Cache files

[Patrick Schmid]

You cannot disable it. It is an integral part of OneNote.
Which OneNote beta version do you have installed? The bug you are
describing was resolved in Beta 2 the latest. The current beta release
is B2TR.

How can I disable the OneNoteOfflineCache.onecache ? It keeps growing
very big in size, (around 4Gb). When it is 4 G, onenote 07 will crash, I
know to rename the file but it's very troublesome as the file growing
fast. I dont want to rename the file every few hours.

*You should change your destination settings for printouts. Beta 2
unfortunately defaults to sending printouts to a new section that is
not
kept offline. You should therefore create a new section in a
notebook
that is kept offline, and change the rules to send printouts there.
You
can change the rules in Tools, Options, Filing Rules. Scroll down to
Printouts.

I tried doing something like this but a big problem I enouctered was with
the "Send to OneNote" feature when printing.

I was trying to 'print' a powerpoint presentation to ON but kept getting an
error message saying that it could not find a spot to write the new document
.. and that I should browse to a page where the document can be inserted. I
tried sending the PPT to an existing ON page as well as making a new page and
sending it there - neither worked. It was as if it was looking for the .one
file in the 'OneNote Notebooks' folder hierarchy (which of course was empty
when I am offline). It just wouldnt allow me to 'print' the document to
OneNote when running from the cache. When I reconnected to the network and
the .one files were once again visible on my file server the Send to OneNote
feature worked again.

In order to Send to OneNote when offline, I had to move the OneNote .one
files back to the local hard disk.

i emptied the offline cache folder at the address in that path and i still
get an error message when i try to insert .wav audio files that the cache
where the notebook is stored is full and therefore it can't insert the audio.

i'm new to onenote and this is my first notebook, so how can it really be
full?

As soon as you start OneNote it copies everything back into that cache
folder anyway. Consider the cache folder to be the working folder. Once
OneNote has been running for a while (at least an hour), how much space
do you have left on that hard drive?

Basically the question I have, but not just concerning OneNote. I think all
programs burn up too much space on a hard drive wanting to store to the
system file. I am experimenting to have all of my Microsoft Office
applications data, including Business Contact Manager for Outlook, channel
all of its' data, archives, and backups, to a folder I have set up under my
user, but not in "My Documents". This way, I can keep my system folders
hidden, and occasionally open this "PC and Program" folder to clean it out of
old data that even disc clean up won't.

What is the purpose of these cache files? More importantly, do I need
them?
I use my notebook for all of medical school inserting powerpoints
daily. During class I share notes with classmates and we all take
notes on the same "screen". We don't share entire notebooks, just one
page that has the powerpoint for that class. I use one note book for
all of medical school becasue I like all of it in one place and
ability to search everything.
I have my Onenote notebooks (11.8gb) in my documents folder and then
the OneNoteOfflineCache_Files (2.43gb) which seems to just have sort
of random copies of documents from 1/21/2010 back to 11/28/2008 I put
into onenote as either a insert notes as printout or print directly to
onenote through powerpoint. Onenote backup file which is 10gb. No
audio files. A OneNoteOfflineCache.onecache 15gb file. When I do
disk defragment I get error messages saying the .onecache file is
fragmented and after the scan it also lists some other files I can't
remember.
What can I do to get some space back besides getting a bigger hard
drive?
