Add "Remove Temp Files" to Right-Click Menu


Recommended Posts

Clear and erase your Temporary Files Easily

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!

Delete %Temp% files and folders (User Temp Folder), and Windows Temp Folder in Windows Vista

  Quote
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

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)

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!

    • Adobe releases all-new Photoshop app for Android devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Early this year, Adobe released an all-new Photoshop app for iOS devices. Designed from the ground up for smartphones, the app allows users to easily add, remove, adjust, and combine content, as well as access free Adobe Stock assets to create new visuals. Today, Adobe announced a similar, brand-new Photoshop app for Android devices, currently in beta. It’s important to note that this Android version is not intended to replace the desktop version of Photoshop. Instead, it offers access to select powerful Photoshop features—including layering, masking, and the new Generative Fill—within an easy-to-use mobile interface. During the beta phase, the following features are available to all users: Following the beta phase, users will need a new Photoshop Mobile & Web plan to access the premium features. The premium features list includes the ability to remove objects by brushing over them with the Remove Tool, the ability to use Clone Stamp to hide unwanted objects by cloning areas of an image, the ability to fill portions of an image with content sampled from other parts of the image with Content-Aware Fill, the ability to export using additional file formats (PSD, TIF, JPG, PNG), and more. You can download the Adobe Photoshop app from the Google Play Store if your device is running Android 11 or later and has at least 6GB of RAM (8GB or more is recommended for optimal performance).

    • Hey everyone! Just curious what your favorite browser is and why? Personally, I prefer using Chrome because it is simple and smooth to use. Would love to hear what everyone else is using and if there's something better I should try!
    • I'm Sam, 20, currently studying IT and passionate about all things tech and music. I found Neowin while browsing for community forums, and I’m excited to be here, connect with others, and maybe even learn something new along the way. Looking forward to chatting with you all!
