Click the File tab. Click Account Settings, and then click Account Settings. On the E-mail tab, click the Exchange account, and then click Change. Under Microsoft Exchange server, select or clear the Use Cached Exchange Mode check box. Outlook for Mac is a disk space hog but the macOS has a way to recover some of that. Mac computers can have relatively small hard drives like 128GB or 265GB which Outlook 2016 for Mac can gobble up. Unfortunately, Outlook for Mac, even the latest Outlook 2016 doesn’t have some of the space saving options available to Office for Windows. Clearing the System Cache: Close as many open programs as possible. Open programs use files.

I'm using Exchange via Office 365—but with the full suite of OS X apps (Mail, Calendar, Contacts, etc).
Clear Cache Mac
I have found that Contacts.app syncs a hidden Exchange directory called 'Recipient Cache' (probably because this directory is located within the main 'Contacts' directory and appears to be a simple sub-folder).
This is actually creating additional contact cards—even for those already in my Contact list (which means they appear as duplicates when I click the 'All Contacts' option in the left nav pane).
I've been using MFCMAPI to manually clear 'Recipient Cache' (but the duplicates inevitably return), but should Contacts.app sync this directory in the first place? Anybody got a better workaround?
