It is different from the temporary internet files. How do > I > delete this? time, but this is the reason why some are left behind. You can type %temp% into an address bar to go there yourself and manually delete file. You will not be able to delete files that are still in use. You can use the attached .vbs script to delete all of the files that are not in use as well. I have it saved in a folder I keep all extra command line commands, and that is included in the PATH. ss. |
