looking for a way to perform the following:

Start > Run > "%TEMP% > Delete everything (skipping any conflicts).

so Far I have

@echo off

start %TEMP%

DEL *.*

I suppose I could use CD to get to the folder, the thing I'm wondering is if there are any instances where it cannot delete an a dialog box comes up, I want to skip these.

Thanks for the help!

del won't trigger any dialogs or message boxes. You have a few problems, though:

1. 
   

   start will just open Explorer which would be useless. You need cd to change the working directory of your batch file (the /D is there so it also works when run from a different drive):

   
   
   

   cd /D %temp%
   
   

   
   


2. 
   

   You may want to delete directories as well:

   
   
   

   for /d %%D in (*) do rd /s /q "%%D"
   
   

   
   


3. 
   

   You need to skip the question for del and remove read-only files too:

   
   
   

   del /f /q *
   
   

   
   

so you arrive at:

@echo off

cd /D %temp%

for /d %%D in (*) do rd /s /q "%%D"

del /f /q *

If you want to remove all the files in the %TEMP% folder you could just do this:

del %TEMP%*.* /f /s /q

That will remove everything, any file with any extension (*.*) and do the same for all sub-folders (/s), without prompting you for anything (/q), it will just do it, including read only files (/f).

Hope this helps.

The following batch commands are used to delete all your temp, recent and prefetch files on your System.

Save the following code as "Clear.bat" on your local system

*********START CODE************



@ECHO OFF



del /s /f /q %userprofile%Recent*.*



del /s /f /q C:WindowsPrefetch*.*



del /s /f /q C:WindowsTemp*.*



del /s /f /q %USERPROFILE%appdatalocaltemp*.*





/Below command to Show the folder after deleted files



Explorer %userprofile%Recent



Explorer C:WindowsPrefetch



Explorer C:WindowsTemp



Explorer %USERPROFILE%appdatalocaltemp





*********END CODE************

cd C:Users%username%AppDataLocal
rmdir /S /Q Temp

del C:WindowsPrefetch*.* /Q

del C:WindowsTemp*.* /Q

del C:Users%username%AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsRecent Items*.* /Q
pause

@echo off

RD %TEMP%. /S /Q



::pause

explorer %temp%

This batch can run from anywhere.
RD stands for Remove Directory but this can remove both folders and files which available to delete.

@echo off    

del /s /f /q %windir%temp*.*    

rd /s /q %windir%temp    

md %windir%temp    

del /s /f /q %windir%Prefetch*.*    

rd /s /q %windir%Prefetch    

md %windir%Prefetch    

del /s /f /q %windir%system32dllcache*.*    

rd /s /q %windir%system32dllcache    

md %windir%system32dllcache    

del /s /f /q "%SysteDrive%Temp"*.*    

rd /s /q "%SysteDrive%Temp"    

md "%SysteDrive%Temp"    

del /s /f /q %temp%*.*    

rd /s /q %temp%    

md %temp%    

del /s /f /q "%USERPROFILE%Local SettingsHistory"*.*    

rd /s /q "%USERPROFILE%Local SettingsHistory"    

md "%USERPROFILE%Local SettingsHistory"    

del /s /f /q "%USERPROFILE%Local SettingsTemporary Internet Files"*.*    

rd /s /q "%USERPROFILE%Local SettingsTemporary Internet Files"    

md "%USERPROFILE%Local SettingsTemporary Internet Files"    

del /s /f /q "%USERPROFILE%Local SettingsTemp"*.*    

rd /s /q "%USERPROFILE%Local SettingsTemp"    

md "%USERPROFILE%Local SettingsTemp"    

del /s /f /q "%USERPROFILE%Recent"*.*    

rd /s /q "%USERPROFILE%Recent"    

md "%USERPROFILE%Recent"    

del /s /f /q "%USERPROFILE%Cookies"*.*    

rd /s /q "%USERPROFILE%Cookies"    

md "%USERPROFILE%Cookies"
