Yesterday morning, seemingly after an update, everyone in my group who uses Dark Mode in Teams noticed vertical white lines appear that divide the sections of the chat screen (between the left side icons and the chat selection tree as well as between the tree and the chat window itself. We all find these lines very annoying and would like to remove them. However, we haven't found a way to turn them off. Suggestions (besides switching to the blinding Light or Classic modes?

    I can confirm that this works! Thank goodness! That was one of the more horrific auto-updates from MS. I really wish I could disable auto-updates so I could wait until they figured out what bugs they pushed to prod before updating. It's just bad practice all around on their part. Thank you again for sharing the solution Microsoft apparently could not auto-push like their bugs. (facepalm)

    1. Quit Teams
    2. Delete all the files/folders within this location: %userprofile%\appdata\local\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft\MSTeams
    3. Restart Teams

    Delete everything from this teams directory:

    %userprofile%\appdata\local\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft\MSTeams

    It worked for me and a colleague of mine.

    Few graphical issues annoy me as much as this one does - what an eyesore!

    I wrote a quick batch file to handle this since it happens so frequently for me. It's at least quicker than doing it manually.

    In case others find it useful or wish to improve/modify it until this is fixed properly, this has been working for me lately:

    ::Kill Teams

    taskkill /IM ms-teams.exe /f

    ::Navigate to Teams directory

    cd "%userprofile%\appdata\local\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft\MSTeams"

    ::Deletes all files and folders in that folder

    del /q *.*

    rmdir /s /q .

    ::relaunch teams

    start "" ms-teams

    exit
