Describe how to delete junk files in the following file paths
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp
The DEL command does not work
And changing the attributes doesn't work either. It says the path cannot be found! Which expert can give me the key point?
I've already done half of the batch file, only the above is left.
del C:\WINDOWS\Temp\*.*/p
del C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\*.*/p
del C:\WINDOWS\Tasks\*.*/p
But the above files cannot find the path,

del “C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\*.*" /p
del "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\*.*" /p
Folders with spaces must be enclosed in “”

I tried it, it said the path couldn't be found. Brother, I only gave everyone this tough problem because the above batch commands didn't work when I tried them.

The Temporary Internet Files and Temp folders are not fixed. You should use variable paths such as %TEMP%, look up the related variable names in the registry, or google it. Some of them can be obtained in cmd with set.

　　You have to remove the folder's "system + hidden + read-only" attributes first, and then del "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\*.*" /p won't give an error message.

　　As for the "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator" folder, since I haven't switched to it on my machine, I don't know whether removing attributes will work. I guess the path not found message is precisely because you haven't switched to the administrator user.

I'll give you the full statement that I collected. This is a ready-made bat file for clearing system junk files.

@echo off 



del/f/s/q %systemdrive%\*.tmp 



del/f/s/q %systemdrive%\*._mp 



del/f/s/q %systemdrive%\*.log 



del/f/s/q %systemdrive%\*.gid 



del/f/s/q %systemdrive%\*.chk 



del/f/s/q %systemdrive%\*.old 



del/f/s/q %windir%\*.bak 



del/f/q %systemdrive%\recycled\*.* 



del/f/q %windir%\prefetch\*.* 



rd/s/q %windir%\temp & md %windir%\tempemp% &md %temp% 



del/f/q %userprofile%\cookies\*.* 



del/f/q %userprofile%\recent\*.* 



rd/s/q \"%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\" 



cls & echo System junk cleanup complete :) 



echo. & pause

　　Hehe, is the one above the "Online Flying Fox System Junk Cleaner"?

　　I've used his cleaner before, and during use it would give a prompt roughly saying that some files could not be cleared. Now after your post and thinking about it again, I guess it's because when using * to represent all files of a certain type, the author didn't take into account filenames with spaces, or perhaps some file is in use (this possibility is relatively small). Since the temporary files on my machine are rather important to me, I don't want to run the modified code for now. Please, the poster above, try putting quotes around the path in every statement.
