Batch File commands in XP

[lanuser]

Hi,

I have created a batch file which is supposed to delete all files in a particular folder when executed, however it does not work. Appreciate any help.

The commands in the batch file:
cd C:\Documents and Settings\yourprofilename\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\
del *.*

Del *.* normally asks for confirmation (Y or N).
Try del /q *.*

Use sageset and sagerun with the disk cleanup tool instead. The Temporary Internet Files folder has some peculiarities if you use normal DOS commands as the logged in user.

Its a hidden directory. It contains special files that XP/2000 etc use to track temporary internet pages & cookies etc. Therefore XP/2000 etc stop DOS from seeing the files in this folder.

Try opening a DOS box and typing

cd "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files"

then

dir

No files will be found!
