If you’re having trouble checking out a project one option is to fully clear your project cache.

  1. Launch Microsoft Project and be sure to save and check-in any projects you have checked-out.
    Warning – continuing these steps without saving any previously checked-out, unsaved project may result in lost changes.
  2. From the Project ribbon, click File, click Options, click the Save section.
  3. Copy the cache location address.
