Delete non used files from %temp%

[donpot]

So i have been searching for a while now, and can't find a topic that can help with my problem.

In advance i will apologizes for my English, gramma and bad commas and periods.

So i wanna make a script that defrag the pc, delete folders from the %temp% folder ( C:\Users\"username"\AppData\Local\Temp ) but all the different ways i try just fail.

i have tried with #RequireAdmin and still nothing will work.

Script to empty the temp folder:

#Region Empty Tempt Folder
Local Const $sFilePath = (@TempDir & "\*")
ConsoleWrite($sFilePath)
if Not IsAdmin Then
   ConsoleWrite("NO ADMIN!")
Else
FileDelete ($sFilePath)

EndIf
#EndRegion

 

After a couple of days testing different ways, i'm lost now, so i would hope that someone could help me. In advance i will say Thanks

Full Script:

#RequireAdmin
#Region Inclueds
#include <WinAPIFiles.au3>
#EndRegion
#Region Defrag
run ("dfrgui.exe")
WinWaitActive ("dfrgui","",5)
ControlClick("Disk Defragmenter","","[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:3]")

sleep (5000)
ConsoleWrite("sleep is over")
WinActivate("dfrgui")

While 1
If ControlCommand("Disk Defragmenter", "Analyze disk", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:2]", "IsEnabled", "") Then ExitLoop
    Sleep(100) ; Important or you eat all the CPU which will not help the defrag!
WEnd

ConsoleWrite(@LF & "Defrag Done")
sleep (1000)
ProcessClose("dfrgui.exe")
#EndRegion
#Region Empty Tempt Folder
Local Const $sFilePath = (@TempDir & "\*")
ConsoleWrite($sFilePath)
if Not IsAdmin Then
   ConsoleWrite("NO ADMIN!")
Else
FileDelete ($sFilePath)

EndIf
#EndRegion

@donpot if you do a search of the forum you will find a number of system cleanup type scripts. This is one that I used to use to prepare a machine for cloning, although I have not updated in quite some time. It may give you some ideas:

@JLogan3o13 well damm, i think i have missed that post, im sorry.

But i will say thanks, that _deleteTempFiles func work perfect for what i need.

You just saved my hair haha.

Glad to be of help

@JLogan3o13. I tried your code but I'm having the same issue I had when I used the more cumbersome "RegWrite" Autoit command to modify the registry key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches" prior to running cleanmgr.exe. You have a more elegant solution here. However, the problem is: cleanmgr.exe hangs or looses focus after cleaning each logical drive unless I pass a mouse cursor over the cleanmgr.exe message box during the operation like bringing up the sign on box on a Windows lock screen. That's the only way to make cleanmgr.exe continue on to the next logical drive. This happens in Windows 10 and  Windows 11. I suspect you haven't had this issue but maybe someone else can help figure out this glitch.
