Hi,

Hi Amarjit, it's a valid question, the answer to your question is here - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712288.aspx#BKMK_ClientCache

Cached content is not automatically deleted but remains in the cache for at least one day after the client used that content. If you configure the package properties with the option to persist content in the client cache, the client does not automatically delete the package content from the cache. If the client cache space is used by packages that have been downloaded within the last 24 hours and the client must download new packages, you can either increase the client cache size or choose the delete option to delete persisted cache content.

Where can i change the settings to delete cached content after deployment.

1. On the client computer, navigate to Configuration Manager in Control Panel, and then double-click to open the properties.
   
   
2. Click the Cache tab.
   
   
3. Specify the disk space to reserve for the client cache.
   
   
4. To change the location of the client cache folder, click Change Location, and then specify the new location. The default location is %windir%\ccmcache.
   
   
5. To delete the files currently stored in the client cache folder, click Delete Files.
   
   
6. Click OK to close Configuration Manager Properties.
