Clear PowerAppsCache to save site as template: The file path is too long

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

When I try to save the site as a template (not including Content), I get error message 'qModules\Files\Lists\xxxxxxx xxxxxx\_PowerAppsCache\xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\Assets\Images\xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.png.appfile'. Please make folder or file names shorter in the site and then try exporting the site again."

 

From what I understand I need to clear PowerApps cache (my site contains dozens of custom forms). Is there any way to do it? Thanks

    Hi @corpserviceacc , Not sure whether this is related to PowerApps or not, but in order to delete the custom form for SPO list, you can do it from list setting> form setting and then this:

    But I would not suggest to delete the custom forms for the affected list because there might be other users who might be using it. So, please plan accordingly.

     

    Also, this is what I found 

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1334738/the-file-path-is-too-long-on-save-as-template-with

     

    There might be some file which has longer path. Try the solution which is mentioned in above post.
