benphp Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 This is pissing me off. cd "C:\Documents and Settings\mylogin\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files" del *.* This doesn't work either: cd C:\Docume~1\mylogin\LocalS~1\Tempor~1 del *.* Nor do variations of it. In fact, if I navigate here in DOS, and do a DIR, it doesn't show the files. WTF?

MadTechie Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Try this RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 8 del "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\" /S /F please note these are for Internet Explorer EDIT: codes for the first line (IE8 ) 255 (Deletes ALL History) 1 (Deletes History Only) 2 (Deletes Cookies Only) 8 (Deletes Temporary Internet Files Only) 16 (Deletes Form Data Only) 32 (Deletes Password History Only) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/162834-how-to-delete-temporary-internet-files-with-a-batch-file/#findComment-859279 Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 On any non web programming related forum, I would straight up assume you were trying to cover porn tracks.

benphp Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 On any non web programming related forum, I would straight up assume you were trying to cover porn tracks. Funny. I almost posted the reason for it, because I know the reason why most people want to do this. No - I'm using it for testing, and I need to clear my cache a lot without having to go through a menu to do it. PIA.

benphp Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 MadTechie, Thanks for those - I might upgrade to IE7 just to get those to work - they won't work in IE6, apparently. I don't like IE7 though.

benphp Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 Looks like the best option is to install ccleaner - that way I don't need to "upgrade" to the hateful ie7.

The ClearMyTracksByProcess is IE7+ but the command line should work! of course if the files are stored elsewhere then it won't work but try this as a batch file echo off RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 8 del "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\" /S /F /Q RD "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\" /S /Q MD "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5" Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/162834-how-to-delete-temporary-internet-files-with-a-batch-file/#findComment-859732 Share on other sites More sharing options...
