4] Clear the Team’s caches
In case the Team’s caches are corrupted, you won’t be able to log in to your account. Deleting caches won’t delete your account or even your personal files. They are just frequently used items stored on your computer for quick access. Before deleting the cache, either close Teams from the Task Manager or reboot your computer once.
Here’s how to delete Team’s cache.
- Open File Explorer.
- Go to the search bar, paste, and navigate the following path:%appdata%\Microsoft\teams
- Now, go to the following paths and delete the files inside these folders:%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\application cache\cache
%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\blob_storage
%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\Cache
%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\databases
%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\tmp.
- Do the same with these as well:%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\Local Storage
%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\IndexedDB
%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\GPUcache
After you are done, reboot the PC and try to log in again. Hopefully, this will act as a salve to the error.
If your system fails to find the location mentioned above, change ‘teams’ to ‘Teams’ and then try.
6] Disable the Firewall
There’s a possibility of your firewall blocking some of the Teams’ important files and services. Temporarily disable your firewall and log in to your account. Once you have logged in successfully, turn the security software back on; otherwise, your computer will be vulnerable.
7] Reinstall Teams
If nothing seems to troubleshoot the issue, then uninstall Teams. Once deleted, make sure that you also delete the hidden folder that stores all app settings. For that, click Win+R to open the Run dialogue box, type %programdata%, hit Enter, and delete the MS Team folder.
