I think this is more simple.

Sorry for german text, I think you know what it is doing.

Thanks for the Idea

And interesting BatchFile too!

This being said my program does something a batch file can never do.

What happens if you're working on a computer with more than one user? Well your batch file cleans up the current account (by way of %UserProfile%) but all the rest is still there.

Furthermore, if your batchfile hits a file presently in use by the computer, it stops deleting. The first versions of my program didn't take that into account and I would still have megs after megs of scrap on my harddrives.

Finally AutoIt enables my program to be "smart"; it scans all hard drives searching for useless files. For a batch file to do this, you would need to make a version for each single letter of the alphabet

Mind you a batch file like yours is perfect for a computer with a single user. It misses a few (really unimportant) spots but it's otherwise excellent

Oh there's another reason for doing it in AutoIT3 ... Because it's a lot of fun!

Maybe you can add how many files the script deleted and how many kb...

and delete also the bak,old,tmp etc files like valuater in his xpclean.

I've taught about that ... my only problem is that AutoIT does get slower when you add stuff all over the place. Me being a speed freak ... http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=14936

Mind you it shouldn't be a big problem of putting these stats in ... if I ever get a chance to do it, you can be sure I will post it here. If you want to try it out yourself, feel free also (I've put my script here so that people could contribute if they wanted)

hm sounds allot like my delete gui but mine seems to be working on everything. It also does a few other little things.

I'm working on an updated version that will be able to use plugin definition files so that anybody can write their own plugins for it. I went this way so that it could be used as a mini spyware/virus/system cleaner for things that are known to be bad.

If they ever add the md5 stuff autoit then I can start using definition files to check for files also but I don't really think i want to take it this way as it would drastically slow down scanning time.
