Temp delete

[au3scr]

Hi how to do script that deletes all files in temp dir?

is there any command to delete all files?

there are also some files that you cant delete (prodected by system) so script should skip these.

[Swift]

DirRemove(@TempDir & "\", 1)

Wont this remove the entire folder of temporary files ? :S

Which is regenerated when it is rewritten too, but this time when it is rewritten, it is empty

Untested:

#Include <File.au3>
$dir = @TempDir
$files = _FileListToArray($dir)
For $i = 1 to UBound($files) - 1
FileDelete($files[$i])
Next

Perhaps this are files which are still in use of some programs or processes !

It's not recommended to delete them while the process take use of the files.

i.e. my Firewall uses some temporary files in my Temp folder and I don't think that it would be a gain if I force to delete it, isn' t it !?

Maybe the other files without importance you can't delete, are set to read only, so test to set the attributes to writable ...

Run before the DirRemove a FileSetAttrib(.., .., 1) with the '1' parameter at the end.

For subfolders you have to create a loop ...
