Cisco Webex Media & Call Recording Cache (%AppData%\Local\CiscoSpark)

Quick Answer: Cisco Webex stores cached video call streams, shared slides, and meeting logs. Clearing Webex media cache is safe.

Bottom Line: It is safe to delete Webex Cache. This storage location is used by the application or system daemon to cache temporary runtime data, index files, or intermediate pre-compiled binaries.


Why Does Webex Cache Exist?

When you run software tools in the productivity ecosystem, the underlying application generates cached files to accelerate startup times and reduce redundant calculations. Over months of regular software usage, these temporary files accumulate and can consume 2 GB – 15 GB+ of SSD storage.

  • Primary Purpose: Caching intermediate compilation objects, index catalogs, and runtime buffers.
  • Storage Growth: Grows automatically as you open new projects, compile code, or process media assets.
  • Location: Typically stored inside system AppData, LocalStorage, or hidden user cache directories.

What Happens If You Delete Webex Cache?

  • System & App Safety: ✅ 100% Safe to Delete. Your main user files, code repositories, and configuration settings remain completely intact.
  • Automatic Regeneration: The application will automatically recreate a fresh, clean cache directory on its next launch.
  • Reclaimed Storage: Purging this cache instantly frees up 2 GB – 15 GB+ of valuable storage space.

How to Clean Up Webex Cache

rmdir /s /q "%LocalAppData%\CiscoSpark\Media"

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Will deleting Webex Cache cause errors?

No. Temporary cache directories are designed to be disposable. If the application requires these files again, it will regenerate them dynamically without throwing errors.

How often should I clean Webex Cache?

You only need to clear this directory when your storage is running low or if you experience application performance issues related to corrupted cache files.
