temp file cleanup

enfield_freddy

I have a simple CMD file that I can run that cleans up the winsxs directory , this reads


dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup and I run it regularly


I would like to add some extra commands (before this) , removal of temp files.


at present del /q/f/s %TEMP%\*


however this is missing a load of directories out , eg windows/temp and users/(user name)/appdata/local/temp.


my dos skills are getting rusty , can someone come up with a line that will remove all folders and files that are in ALL the temp folders on a modern machine (win 10)


empty recycle bin , and remove temp internet files would be handy as well.


when finished , I would like to save this as a simple CMD file on my pendrive , then when trying to sort out slow running families PCs , simply run this from the desktop or drop it into windows/32 and type summot like "cleanme"


this could be made available to other forum users , to help them as well

use ccleaner instead

or lift the directories from winapp2.ini and add them to the batch file prefixed with a

rd /Q/S

much as an external program can be used , it would be simpler/easier to just have a simple batch file and run it,


anyone else care to make any suggestions of decent lines of text to add?

obviously not simpler and easier, because you have to create the batch file in the first place, and maintain it, there are 100's of potential locations, some require registry interrogation, and multiple user accounts.

you've been given and dismissed an easy way of creating a batch file, lift the data from the ccleaner ini file, or parse it

but the smart and simple way is to use a program designed to do it, ccleaner, which can also be run from a batch file, have your own locations, and be put on a usb stick, and someone else goes to the trouble of maintaining it.
