Free-up more space in your Hard drive! After Reading some questions on how to remove temporary files manually in Windows Vista and XP. Thankfully, Something pops-up in my head, If I will create a small program or script and be able to delete the temporary files in just one click, That would be Great!

If WScript.Arguments.Count > 0 Then
Set objApp = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objApp.Run "cmd.exe /c " & Chr(34) & "rmdir /S /Q %temp%" & Chr(34)
objApp.Run "cmd.exe /c " & Chr(34) & "rmdir /S /Q %SystemRoot%\temp" & Chr(34)
Else
Set objLaunch = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
objLaunch.ShellExecute "wscript.exe", Chr(34) & WScript.ScriptFullName & Chr(34) & " RunAsAdmin", , "runas", 1
End If
Set objApp = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objApp.Run "cmd.exe /c " & Chr(34) & "rmdir /S /Q %temp%" & Chr(34)
objApp.Run "cmd.exe /c " & Chr(34) & "rmdir /S /Q %SystemRoot%\temp" & Chr(34)
Else
Set objLaunch = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
objLaunch.ShellExecute "wscript.exe", Chr(34) & WScript.ScriptFullName & Chr(34) & " RunAsAdmin", , "runas", 1
End If
Open Notepad > Just Copy and Paste the Code Above and Save the the file to Any filename that you want with extension ".vbs"
e.g. deltempfiles.vbs
Or If you're afraid to commit a mistake, just Download the file, here:
Adding the Script to Context Menu:
1. Download WinBubble
2. If you prefer to manually add the entry to Computer, Desktop, Start Menu, Folders Context Menu, Read here:
Adding your applications to Context Menu (Right-Click Menu)
3. Using WinBubble:
Go to Miscellaneous Tab > Click the Computer Button > Type Any Name. In this guide, let's try "Remove Temp Files" > Click the Browse Button and locate the VB Script File > Add wscript.exe before the path and enclosed the path in a quotation mark (").
Name: Remove Temp Files
Command: wscript.exe "C:\Tools\deltempfiles.vbs"
Click the Add Button. That's it!
%Temp% Folder Only
C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\Temp
If you want to clear the User's temporary Folder only because UAC will not prompt to elevate the command:
Repeat the steps from 1 to 3 and use the script below:
Quote -
Set objApp = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objApp.Run "cmd.exe /c " & Chr(34) & "rmdir /S /Q %temp%" & Chr(34)
objApp.Run "cmd.exe /c " & Chr(34) & "rmdir /S /Q %temp%" & Chr(34)
Download: UserTempFileOnly.vbs
Also, you can use this to Clear your Personal Temp Folder when Windows Starts. Just drag the Shortcut to Start Menu > All Programs > Start Up Folder.
That's it!
