A System Center Configuration Manager (CCM) cache is similar to an Internet cache or download folder, storing temporary programs, drivers and other downloaded software on your computer or mobile device. Clearing your Windows 7 CCM cache removes outdated software and information, freeing space on your system and helping to remove any harmful malware. Please note that clearing the cache can affect personal information and password settings you may have saved previously in programs affiliated with CCM.
