Help me make a batch file to clean temp files

Can someone tell me what text I need to type to create a batch file that would delete the following folders because I have fixed all my event log errors so far with the exception of the indexing error:

Upon doing some search, I found that CCleaner may be behind this so I wanna try a format without ever using CCleaner

PS: Re-building the Index doesn't help

What I want the batch file to delete is the following:

1) C:\Windows\Temp (delete all the files and folders in that folder but not the folder itself)

2) C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp (delete all the files and folders in that folder but not the folder itself)

3) C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download (delete all the files and folders in that folder but not the folder itself)

Thanks

 

can you please do it for me with that force to delete hidden files as well, I'm a noobie man

 

just tried it and ran it as admin bro, not deleting any files from Software Distribution nor the appdata\local\temp files not the Temp folder

 

I copy/pasted what you typed in the CODE into a text notepad then renamed it to "System Cleanup.bat" and right clicked it, then ran as administrator.....

it didn't do a thing

 

Ahh ok, so I just created a blank text file with this code:

then saved the file as System Cleanup.ps1

Then I right clicked on it and chose Run As Admin, not a single file got deleted, what's going on

 

Personally I have been using this for a year or so on an monthly basis (right before my monthly full images) Disk Cleanup : Extended - Windows 7 Help Forums

 

Alternatively, get ccleaner which will clean up the temp files and a lot more.

As I mentioned in my OP, I have been getting Indexing corruption that is irrepairable every time I format and set my system up as I want......never figured out why, even rebuilding the Index doesn't help. Upon searching Google about this, I ran across a few posts of users who use CCleaner complaining that it is responsible for this. This was @ version 3.5 and they said they fixed the issue but now I wanna try without CCleaner to see how it goes this time

 

Finally got it! A guy from MDL forums gave me the text I would have never been able to figure it out! Tested it and working perfectly to remove the files from USER Temps + Software Distribution Download Folder (Temp Windows Update Files) + Windows Temp files

Paste this in a text file and rename it to whatever you want.bat and run it as admin!

Code:

DEL /S /F /Q "%temp%\*" 1>nul 2>nul
DEL /S /F /Q %systemroot%\temp\* 1>nul 2>nul
DEL /S /F /Q %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution\Download\* 1>nul 2>nul
for /f %%i in ('"dir /s /b /ad "%temp%"" 2^>nul') do RD /S /Q %%i 1>nul 2>nul
for /f %%i in ('"dir /s /b /ad %windir%\temp" 2^>nul') do RD /S /Q %%i 1>nul 2>nul
for /f %%i in ('"dir /s /b /ad %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Download" 2^>nul') do RD /S /Q %%i 1>nul 2>nul

 

Just use Windows Disk Cleanup or Ccleaner or Glary Utilities. I find Glary is the most thorough. They all have a reasonably intuitive GUI and most importantly all free. No need to use a batch file when these apps do the same and better.

 

Batch file is faster for me

Here is a more advanced batch script that cleans out more folders (got it from MDL forums and works great):

Code:

[b]@echo off
title .
color 1F
openfiles >nul 2>&1
if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 goto :UACPrompt
goto :gotAdmin

:UACPrompt
    echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
    echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~fs0", "", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
    "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
    del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
    exit /b

:gotAdmin
DEL /S /F /Q "%temp%\*" 1>nul 2>nul
DEL /S /F /Q %systemroot%\temp\* 1>nul 2>nul

DEL /S /F /Q %systemroot%\Logs\CBS\* 1>nul 2>nul
