How to delete temporary Internet files

by admin on May 24, 2011

Temporary internet files are stored separately for each user account. These files can be deleted by running the following command from Windows command line.

rmdir /s /q “%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files”

There is another temp folder where temporary files are kept. Suppose you view a pdf file online in the browser, then the file is actually stored in this temp folder. This is located in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp. The environment variable temp stores the path of this directory.

This temp folder can be cleaned using the below command.

rmdir /s /q %temp%
