It appears the link was created from an Excel file opened from an Outlook attachment. The attachment is downloaded to this hidden folder before opening. The user ('username' in your example?) should have saved the attachment before creating any links.

Any idea how to see the whole cache content?

Not too sure how to view the cache.
