cookie deleting issue

[iwak]

Hello. Please help solve the following problem.

I trying to delete all cookie files in IE (except one site), but not have result.

 

here's the code that I used:

#include <File.au3>

$sdir = 'C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files'
$aFiles = _FileListToArray($sDir, '*.*', 1)
If @error Then Exit

For $i = 1 To $aFiles[0]
If Not StringInStr($aFiles[$i], 'google.com') Then
FileDelete($sDir & $aFiles[$i])
ConsoleWrite($aFiles[$i] & @LF)
EndIf
Next

But code is not working for this folder ("Temporary Internet Files"). Code works on other folders.

I think that the script cannot access this folder

Is it possible to fix this problem?
It may be possible to temporarily change the attribute of a folder, and then delete all needed the files?
Perhaps there is another solution of the problem?

Try adding #RequireAdmin at the top of the script, it should fix any issues wit permissions

No result.

No result.

For $i = 1 To UBound($aFiles) - 1

Use the above code for "for" loop

What do you mean by "no result"? Does your script delete no files at all, does it crash etc.

Please provide as much information as possible.

I think he means no files are deleted

Use

$aFiles = _FileListToArray($sDir, '*.*', 1, True)

to add the full path to the returned array.

[iwak]

Unfortunately, it does not work.

[water]

Change line

FileDelete($sDir & $aFiles[$i])

to

FileDelete($aFiles[$i])

because the array element now contains the full path.

Thank You for reply, but i have same result.

Your $sDir string doesn't contain a trailing backslash, so when you try to delete the file you get a path and file name  like this 'C:UsersadminAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsTemporary Internet FilesSomefilenamegoeshere'

This version should give you some more information about the files to be deleted:

• Displays the returned array of all files to be deleted.
• Shows a message for each file to be deleted denoting success/error

#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
$sdir = 'C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files'
$aFiles = _FileListToArray($sdir, '*.*', 1, True)
If @error Then Exit MsgBox(0, "Error", "_FileListToArray returned an error: " & @error)
_ArrayDisplay($aFiles) ; Display the array of files to b deleted

For $i = 1 To $aFiles[0]
    If Not StringInStr($aFiles[$i], 'google.com') Then
        $iResult = FileDelete($aFiles[$i])
        If $iResult <> 1 Then
            ConsoleWrite($aFiles[$i] & " could not be deleted!" & @CRLF)
        Else
            ConsoleWrite($aFiles[$i] & " successfully deleted!" & @CRLF
        EndIf
    EndIf
Next

The problem with this script is it is assuming that C:Users8540pAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsTemporary Internet Files is where the cookies are stored. It's not. I investigated this path in the console, and these files shown in Explorer are NOT in that folder. They are located in C:Users8540pAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsTemporary Internet FilesLowContent.IE5 and the several hidden folders below THAT folder.

You're looking in the wrong place because Windows is hiding the true location from you.
