_FileListToArray - I want to remove any "temp" directories from the array

Hi All,

This is what I have so far and I always drive my self crazy when it comes to arrays so yes, I'm giving up... asking for help lol. Sorry if I'm a newb but I love this program, forum and culture - you guys are the best! Thanks!

Trying to remove any "Temp" directory from the $Filelist array - and I have a whole bunch of others listed in my notes.

For now I'm testing on my D: drive for a temp directory... but I would like to delete any C:\Documents and Settings\ for any user folder not system related. We have devices that everyone logs into and it clusters things up.

$sPath = "D:\"

$FileList = _FileListToArray($sPath , "*" , 2)

Local $cols = UBound($FileList, 2)
Local $dims = UBound($FileList, 0)

MsgBox(0, "The " & $dims & "-dimensional array has", _
$rows & " rows, " & $cols & " columns")

; Work in progress AKA I have no idea what I'm doing and I'm trying to get it right lol...

For $i = 1 To $FileList[0]
If $FileList[$i] == "Temp" Then _ArrayDelete($FileList, $i)
Next

_ArrayDisplay($FileList, "After")

;Note to self "Administrator" or "All Users" or "Default User" or "LocalService" or "NetworkService" or @UserName

souldjer777,

Take a look at the RecFileListToArray UDF in my sig - that allows you to define folder names that are not listed in the return.

Please ask again if you need more help.

If you're looking to delete user's folders other than the default ones, such as Administrator/Default User/All Users (xp and below), then you might want to take a look at the link in my signature for how I gathered the user folders in a script I posted that I use to back up user's folders. This script should work on XP or above, and you can modify it as needed to do what you're looking to do.

First and foremost...

And yes... you guys are the bomb diggity! I felt like I needed to post my program because otherwise what's the point of asking and never having the question / answer provided... Here's a program to delete temp files and extra profiles in XP.

!!! Use on a test device ONLY !!!

I'm NEW so I know I could've looped through dir1 to dir3... it's just easier for me to read right now and loops in loops are tough so...

Notes For Program Below:

Password is "test123" obviously.

Deletes files and folders in the following:

$dir1 = "C:Cache_Directory"

$dir2 = "C:Temp"

$dir3 = "C:WindowsTemp"

$sPath1 = "C:Documents and Settings"

Excluded Folders in "C:Documents and Settings" are..

Administrator;

All Users;

Default User;

LocalService;

NetworkService;

CURRENT_USER or @Username;

Modify the program to suit your purpose
