Empty Appdata\Local\Temp\

[caffrey]

Don't suppose anyone has a nice script to empty C:\Users\*\AppData\Local\Temp on remote machines recursively ?

[ADMaster]

run it as a log off script something like

rd /s /q %userprofile%\[color=#333333]App[/color][color=#333333]Data\Local\Temp [/color]

 

if you really want to do it remotely perhaps a nested foreach loop of hostnames and c:\users in powershell.

 

What remote admin tools do you have? You can cut the hostnames foreach by deploying the powershell script via SCCM or PDQ.

Cheers,

 

I ended up with a powershell script

 

Get-ChildItem -Path 'C:\Users' | foreach {
    Get-ChildItem -Path "$($_.FullName)\AppData\Local\Temp" -ErrorAction Continue | Remove-Item -Force -Recurse
}

 

Which works and had to do it per machine, but with the sheer volume of files in there I ended up resorting to using delprof2 to erase profiles and leaving the machines running overnight - I could also use delprof2 remotely

As written that script won't remove hidden files, as Get-ChildItem only returns hidden files if you pass it the -Force parameter/flag.

Mine is an admin script rather than a user script, I run it on a Friday afternoon

 

cd /D C:\Users
REM ?-Clean Temp Folder?
for /D %%a in (*.*) do DEL /F /S /Q "%%a\AppData\Local\Temp\*.*"
