content.ie5 cleaning script?

Spacedog

I have many PCs throughout my network that have multiple users logging into them. Therefore I have MANY profiles under documents and settings. I have so many that I am now seeing 40Gb hard drives getting eaten up with temporary internet files. In particular I would like to delete the following folder: c:\documents and settings\%username%\local settings\temporary internet folders\content.ie5. What I would like to have is a simple script that I could run on the hard drive that would delete the folder named "content.ie5" from each profile. I have admin rights but don't want to spend the time going through 80 or 90 profiles manually. I will create a GPO that will set the temporary internet files to delete upon exist (from Explorer) but that won't help with those who don't log onto a particular machine again.

oddly enough I did one earlier today for TEMP - will post later..

Not tidied up - but once debugged should be runable using psexec on remote PC's but you'd have to sort out the user.dump bit too.

CD %userprofile%
cd ..
dir /B>Dirlst

for /F "tokens=*" %%i in (dirlst) do del /S /Q /F "%%i\Local Settings\Temp"
for /F "tokens=*" %%i in (dirlst) do del /S /Q /F "%%i\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files"

:manual removal of other junk 
Del /S /P user.dmp

I was thinking something along the lines of a script I could run on the server that will delete the temp stuff, like:

deltree /Y c:\documents and settings\*\local settings\Temporary Internet Files\content.IE5/*

cmd doesn't allow wildcards in the middle of the string though

looking on the net for a script, I'd have thouht it'd be a fairly common problem

Deltree only works on win9X - which doesn't have user profiles unless you like inflicting pain on yourself.

Which version of windows - and have you looked at the script above ???

I have now, silly me, I only read the beginning of it before, using win2K so that script looks good, I'll give it a go, thanks captn'
