I accidentally deleted the contents of the folder C:Windowsccmcache on several Windows servers, specifically versions 2012 through 2002. Some of these servers had recent updates pending a reboot. Should I be worried about any effects when they boot up next?

Deleting that folder isn't going to ruin anything for you, especially since those servers are pretty old. Just remember to handle them carefully after a pending reboot!
If the content needs to be pulled again, the folders will just come back on their own. Don't stress too much about it—just keep an eye out for any failed updates later on.
No need to panic! The ccmcache folder is just temporary storage for Configuration Manager, and it will be recreated automatically. Your servers should be just fine after the next boot.
Honestly, it’s not a big deal. Just reinstall the SCCM client if you run into issues. The folder is crucial for deployments, but as long as you haven't deleted the actual ccm and ccmsetup folders, you're safe.
