    I need to remove reference to decommisioned server from offline files and folders on multiple XP clients. I would like to do this without having to format the entire offline cache, if it is possible. I did find a technet post, which describes a similar issue.

    But have been unable to get the syntax for this code right, therefore I would be most grateful for any help or ideas.

    Cheers

    What have you tried.

    The script posted was pretty simple and pretty exact:

    $cs=Get-WmiObject -List win32_offlineFilesCache -computer mypc
    $cs.deleteItems($item2Delete,2147483648)

    $itemtodelete is the file you want to purge.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Here is a good article to start with. It will help you to understand how to navigate the offline files:
