mayliu Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hi! I met a question.I wrote some statements and want to delete all files stored in Windows xp\Documents and settings\User\Local settings\Temporary Internet Files,but when i run this script,nothings happen.All files in "Temporary Internet Fiels" are exists.I guess if the file "index.dat" cannot be deleted ,so other files cannot deltete .I wrote some statement for deleting "Temp" and it can work. Statement is as below:Dim $FileAttributes = FileGetAttrib(@Tempdir) DirRemove (@Tempdir,1) FileChangeDir (@UserProfileDir & "\Local Settings") FileChangeDir ( @TempDir ) If FileExists( @TempDir ) Then FileSetAttrib("*.*", "-R-S-H") FileMove("*.bat","*.baa") FileMove("*.com","*.coo") FileMove("*.exe","*.exx") FileMove("*.dll","*.dla") FileMove("*.tmp","*.tmm") FileMove("*.nls","*.nll") FileMove("*.sys","*.syy") FileMove("*.scr","*.scc") $search = FileFindFirstFile("*.*") $fileexit=1 $filecannotdelete=0 while 1 $file = FileFindNextFile($search) If StringInStr($FileAttributes,"D") Then DirRemove($file,"1") EndIf FileDelete ($file) $fileexit=FileDelete ($file) If $fileexit=0 then $filecannotdelete =$filecannotdelete +1 EndIf If $filecannotdelete >3000 Then ExitLoop endif WEnd ; Close the search handle FileClose($search) Else DirCreate (@UserProfileDir & "\Local Settings\Temp") EndIf But when I substitue \local setting\temp for \loca settings\temporary internet files ,no files are deleted.Thansk for Help.

rudi Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) Hi. [edit] Welcome to the forum! [/edit] The best one would be to trigger the action that's launched from IE's extra, options, .... (I don't know howto) expandcollapse popup; be indipendent of the local Windows' language... $IECache = RegRead("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders", "Cache") ConsoleWrite($IECache & @CRLF) $IECache = StringReplace($IECache, "%userprofile%", @UserProfileDir) ConsoleWrite($IECache & @CRLF) $search = FileFindFirstFile($IECache & "\*") If @error Then Exit ;nothing found at all While 1 $Next = FileFindNextFile($search) If @error Then ExitLoop $Next = $IECache & "\" & $Next $att = FileGetAttrib($Next) If StringInStr($att, "d") Then ConsoleWrite($att & "= attributes, Dir: " & $Next) FileSetAttrib($Next, "-RSH", 1) $result=DirRemove($Next, 1) ConsoleWrite(" - Delete result: " & $result & @CRLF) Else ConsoleWrite($att & "= attributes, File: " & $Next) FileSetAttrib($Next, "-RSH") $result=FileDelete($Next) ConsoleWrite(" - Delete result: " & $result & @CRLF) EndIf WEnd FileClose($search) ; content.IE5 remains undeleted. ; this next line deletes for me everything but the folder Content.IE5 itself and the "index.dat" in it: run(@ComSpec & ' /c rd /s /q "' & $IECache & '\Content.IE5"',$IECache,@SW_SHOW) run("Explorer /e," & $IECache) Regards, Rudi.

Zohar Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 HelloIf you want to Delete IE's Temporary Internet Files,you should not go and delete the files directly.You should ask IE to do it, and it will do it for you.You can ask that from IE in 2 ways:1) via automating the interface(Goto Menu:Tools\Options, and under "Browsing History" Click the "Delete..." Button, etc..)2) via Command-Line Parameters. If you search google for IE7 "command line" delete "Temporary Internet Files", you will find the needed parameters for doing it.The second option is actually the shortest way to do it.

mayliu Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 (edited) Rudi! Thanks for your Help! My Problem is OK. Edited January 24, 2009 by mayliu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudi Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Rudi! Thanks for your Help! You are welcome. But the answer of Zohar is the approach that I mentioned to be the better one without knowing how to do it. So you might prefer to use that one instead Google found this one . As such pages tend to disappear, I cite it here: Delete Temporary Internet Files RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 8 Delete Cookies RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 2 Delete History RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 1 Delete Form Data RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 16 Delete Stored Passwords RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 32 Delete All RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 255 Delete All with the "Also delete files and settings stored by add-ons" options selected RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 4351 Now it seems that the interesting bit is that you can combine the numbers to get 2 or more functions at the same time. For example, type: RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 9 Regards, Rudi. Earth is flat, pigs can fly, and Nuclear Power is SAFE!
