Removing $WINDOWS.~BT Directory

[Danp]

I have a batch of computers that still have this directory on them, some of them taking 25gb at a time. How can I scan the network to see which still has this and remove, ideally something like the process for removing old profiles with DelProf2?

Is this what you want https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwi2z_WCjZbgAhVIzhoKHbFOCTkQzPwBegQIARAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thewindowsclub.com%2Fdelete-windows-bt-ws-folders-windows-10&psig=AOvVaw0z8I-H9eXruo3buFKDClE3&ust=1548958181944405

Thank you, looks like it, but I'd need to login to each machine then, ideally I'd like to remotely clear them if possible.

Just make a batch file with those commands to run at logon/logoff?

Unlikely to work unless said users are local admins - startup script which will run in the machine context (I think!) will be better

True, I'd go for a shutdown script to stop complaints about startup times though!
