Deletes the Microsoft Office Web Apps cache.

Syntax

Remove-SPOfficeWebAppsCache -WebApplication <SPWebApplicationPipeBind> [-AssignmentCollection <SPAssignmentCollection>] [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]

Remove-SPOfficeWebAppsCache -Site <SPSitePipeBind> [-AssignmentCollection <SPAssignmentCollection>] [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]

Detailed Description

The Remove-SPOfficeWebAppsCache cmdlet removes the cache that is associated with a given Web application. The deletion of the Office Web Apps cache results in degraded functionality for both the Word Viewing Service application and the PowerPoint Service application. Therefore, if the cache is not re-created by using the New-SPOfficeWebAppsCache cmdlet, Office Web Apps attempts to re-create a default cache by using an Office Web Apps Cache Creation timer job.

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Site

Required

Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPSitePipeBind

Specifies the identity of the Office Web Apps cache site collection.

WebApplication

Required

Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPWebApplicationPipeBind

Specifies the Web application that contains the Office Web Apps cache.

AssignmentCollection

Optional

Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPAssignmentCollection

Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.

Note

When the Global parameter is used, all objects are contained in the global store. If objects are not immediately used, or disposed of by using the Stop-SPAssignment command, an out-of-memory scenario can occur.

Confirm

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command. For more information, type the following command: get-help about_commonparameters

WhatIf

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

Displays a message that describes the effect of the command instead of executing the command. For more information, type the following command: get-help about_commonparameters
