      I took the time to add in the directories suggested in the "Help Desk" directory (which is the only reason I found this thread). I made some additions to it to add all my HB folders so they are done all at once and all the other suggested folders suggested in that section specifically "WoW/Data/Cache/" and "C:/ProgramData/Blizzard Entertainment/". It states all 5 of the caches must be cleared and logged out for 5 minutes blah blah blah, but the downside of this approach is you have to reinstall the most recent patch. If these truly aren't necessary especially the C:/ProgramData/Blizzard Entertainment/ which causes the patch reinstall that would be awesome. If anyone knows please let me know. Also sorry I Necro'd the shit out of this thread.

      It's fine to revive something like this, as it is still relevantly useful. Personally No, I don't believe you need to delete the ProgramData/Blizzard Entertainment/ or the other one mentioned that isn't in the WoW directory. When I have cache issues I delete */World of Warcraft/Cache/ and */World of Warcraft/Data/Cache, as well as the HonorBuddy cache, and it works just fine once again. I was under the impression launcher and more account-based information was stored in the hidden directories, while actual content cache was simply in the WoW directory. If you're having a serious problem it wouldn't hurt to delete these anyway, as it's not re-installing a patch just repopulating the files its missing. I've also never understood the concept of Blizzard's Cache being corrupted and merely having corrupted HonorBuddy cache, the 5 minute thing I once again do not abide by unless I need to exhaust all diagnostic options.

      TL;DR: If I'm testing profiles and I switch characters on accident I'll simply delete the HB cache, and WoW/Data/Cache and WoW/Cache. It's usually never necessary for me to delete more.

      set HB_Dir=C:\games\Honorbuddy\HB2
      set HB_Dir=C:\games\Honorbuddy\HB3

      First off - MASSIVE CREDIT TO THE OP.

      After some playing around to get this to do what "I" wanted it to do I figured I'd post my work. Deletes all Caches (including battle.net), updates all SVN.

      1. Install Subversion for Windows | Free software downloads at SourceForge.net
      a. This gives tortisesvn the standard set of svn command line references. Also puts all binaries in your path statement (i.e. no switching directories to make things work)

      2. Make a batch file. Mine is called "CleanHB.bat" but name it whatever. Just make sure it ends in .bat

      3. Paste this code. 99% ripped from OP, I just cleaned it up to work with "my" install. Change the first 3 lines to match YOUR HB, WOW, and Profile directories.


      Code:
      REM -- Change the following two set lines to reflect your actual WoW and HonorBuddy BASE directories!
      set WoW_Dir=C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft
      set HB_Dir=c:\Users\David\Documents\HonorBuddy
      set HB_Profiles=C:\Users\David\Documents\HonorBuddyProfiles
      REM --  If your local isn't enUS then change the next line to your proper local...
      set WoW_Local=enUS
      cls
      
      Echo WoW directory set to %WoW_Dir%
      Echo WoW Local set to %WoW_Local%
      Echo HonorBuddy directory set to %HB_Dir%
      Echo .
      Echo ..
      Echo ...
      
      Echo Deleting Cache
      del /q/f/s "%WoW_Dir%\Errors\*.*" 
      del /q/f/s "%WoW_Dir%\Cache\WDB\%WoW_Local%\creaturecache*.wdb"
      del /q/f/s "%HB_Dir%\Cache\*.*" 
      del /q/f/s "%HB_Dir%\CompiledAssemblies\*.*" 
      del /q/f/s "C:\ProgramData\Blizzard Entertainment\Battle.net"
      
      Echo .
      Echo ..
      Echo ...
      Echo Updating SVN, Please wait...
      Echo .
      svn update %HB_Dir%\Routines\*.*
      Echo ..
      svn update %HB_Dir%\Bots\*.*
      Echo ...
      svn update %HB_Dir%\Plugins\*.*
      svn update %HB_Profiles%\*.*
      
      Echo Errors, Logs, Cache Cleared, and SVN updated...
      pause
      exit
      4. Place this on your desktop. Run it daily. IT WILL CLEAR YOUR BATTLE.NET CACHE. REMOVE THE LINE TO DEL BATTLE.NET CACHE IF YOU DON'T LIKE RE-DOWNLOADING PATCHES

      5. I removed the line to delete logs, I like to keep my logs. I am working on a log parsing program to give me better updates what my little bots were up to while I was sleeping.

      Hope this helps.

      As someone who used only MS-Dos for years, for the simple reason that there was no Windows yet, i really appreciate the .cmd or .bat files to speed up the deleting of the different caches and files that create problems. I also agree with Liferose that I still do not understand why there is such a problem at all. If that is what he is saying. Until such time that the devs see it fit to really solve this mystery, this is a great help for many people.
      Congratulations to the OP!

      Hi together,

      could you give me some help, please. I have a little batch file to clear my wow caches too, but every time if I start my wow it wants to download 6gb of files.
      Have you an idea for me, where the mistake is?

      @echo off
      rem del /s /q "C:\ProgramData\Blizzard Entertainment\Battle.net\Cache\*" >NUL
      rd /s /q "C:\ProgramData\Blizzard Entertainment\Battle.net\Cache" >NUL
      mkdir "C:\ProgramData\Blizzard Entertainment\Battle.net\Cache" >NUL
      rem del /s /q "D:\World of Warcraft\Data\Cache\*" >NUL
      rd /s /q "D:\World of Warcraft\Data\Cache" >NUL
      mkdir "D:\World of Warcraft\Data\Cache" >NUL
      rem del /s /q "D:\World of Warcraft\Cache\*" >NUL
      rd /s /q "D:\World of Warcraft\Cache" >NUL
      mkdir "D:\World of Warcraft\Cache" >NUL
      echo WoW_caches deleted

      I've recently just started playing again. All of my toons are level 85. They have all done the initial quests to get them to the Jade Forrest in Pandaria. However, when I start Honorbuddy ... It is trying to do level 1-5 quests. The log just scrolls - Moving to Type: Quest Pickup. How do I get around this? I just want it to do the quests at my own level and progress forward?

      set SVN_86="C:\Program Files (x86)TortoiseSVN\bin\svn.exe"

      I think there is a missing backslash
