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!

    • Black Myth: Wukong hits Xbox this August, exactly a year after PlayStation launch by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Developer Game Science delivered one of the biggest action games of all time last year, with Black Myth: Wukong going on to sell tens of millions in its launch month and winning a multitude of awards. However, the title skipped out on a platform it was originally announced to launch in: Xbox. Following a long string of reasons and delays, it seems the port is finally coming to the platform. Today, Game Science announced that the Xbox Series X|S version of Black Myth: Wukong now has a release date, with it landing on August 20, 2025. Pre-orders for the title will become available starting June 18. Interestingly, this Xbox release date is set exactly one year after the original release on PlayStation 5 and PC. Game Science originally stated that the delay was due to technical issues with Xbox consoles. However, Microsoft refuted that claim quickly and alluded that the delay was due to some sort of console exclusivity deal between Game Science and Sony. In today's announcement, Game Science once again says that the delay was due to its work on porting the game to Xbox and meeting its quality standards. "Bringing Black Myth: Wukong to Xbox Series X|S—and ensuring the experience met our internal quality standards—was no easy feat," said the studio today regarding the long delay on Xbox platforms. "Fortunately, we were able to complete this challenging task smoothly within the first year of the game's official release." "If you're an Xbox player who hasn't yet experienced the game on another platform, we're confident it will stand among the finest ARPGs available on Xbox," added Game Science. For those looking to jump into the game a little cheaper than usual, Game Science will be hosting Black Myth: Wukong's first-ever sale on June 18. The 20% off discount will be available across PC, PlayStation, and even the Microsoft Store for the Xbox Series X|S pre-order.
    • And where is "don't be evil"? Oh, yeah, they removed it, too.
    • YouTube isn't a monopoly, it's just the most popular video platform, but other options and competitors do exist. And I'm not defending YouTube here, I'm a subscriber to Geerling's channel and I like his content and YouTube clearly went too far with this, but they can't be considered a monopoly, IMO. https://www.captions.ai/blog-post/youtube-alternatives
