How to delete IE temporary files with VBS?

If using BAT, some IE temporary files cannot be deleted. If using VBS to simulate keyboard operations, sometimes the focus cannot be found. Please help me modify the code, thank you?

WScript.Sleep 1600
WshShell.AppActivate "Internet Properties"
WScript.Sleep 600
WshShell.AppActivate "Internet Properties"
WshShell.SendKeys "%D"
WScript.Sleep 600
WshShell.AppActivate "Internet Properties"
WshShell.SendKeys "%A"
WScript.Sleep 600
WshShell.AppActivate "Internet Properties"
WshShell.SendKeys "%D"
WScript.Sleep 600
WshShell.AppActivate "Internet Properties"
WshShell.SendKeys "%Y"
WScript.Sleep 1000
WshShell.AppActivate "Internet Properties"
WshShell.SendKeys "{esc 2}"

Actually, the temporary files of your IE are stored in the computer at: C:\Documents and Settings\v-fesong\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files. (v-fesong is the account name.) Using commands is much more convenient than using the sendkeys() method for you.

Thank you, friend upstairs. I know the method you mentioned, but I can't delete the index.dat file.

If it is IE7, you can directly use rundll32 to call InetCpl.cpl for cleaning. Specific commands:

RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 8
(Delete temporary internet files)
RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 1
(Delete browsing history)
RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 2
(Delete Cookies)
RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 16
(Delete historical form data)
RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 32
(Delete passwords)
RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 255
(Delete all of the above)
RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 4351
(Delete all of the above, as well as the files and settings saved by IE7 add-ons)

Thanks to friend jy02116916 upstairs for solving it. I used the RD and DEL commands before, but some files couldn't be deleted, so I used the clumsy method of simulating the keyboard with VBS. Sometimes I couldn't find the focus. Thanks again!

It is suggested to lurk more. A post from two years ago: RunDll32 deletes IE7's cookies, history, etc.

If someone helps you solve the problem, it is suggested to perform the following operations:

1. Modify the post title and add at the beginning of the title.

2. Give points to the correct answerer (your own points will not decrease) to show gratitude. Although everyone comes to the forum to learn rather than for points, giving points to express gratitude can always make those who have spent time and energy helping you selflessly feel a little comforted.

3. If you write the code by yourself with the help of others, post your method to share with everyone. Maybe others can point out the shortcomings in the code and tell you how to improve the execution efficiency, etc. Only through communication can we progress faster.
