I can't get the files deleted using the DEL command. For that matter I cannot even SEE the files with a simple DIR command. It seems to be the same before or after removing the hidden attribute via "ATTRIB -h".

When I do a:
DIR "C:\Users\Dan\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\*.*"
I see only directories, no files.

0 File(s) 0 bytes
3 Dir(s) 92,626,878,564 bytes free

The files magically appear and can be deleted manually (using Start/Computer/C:...) but I want to delete the files from an automated script (.cmd) file.
