A DIY Cleanup

[The Shadow 2023]

I'm still doing little tweaks to my Cleanup.bat program, although most of the hard work is done.
About once a week now, I get a request for my Batch file from some forum member or another.

I've sent Many copies by email and a couple via Team Viewer. It's still FREE and available to anyone who asks for it.

I still run it daily, or almost daily, and it still removes thousands of Junk files on every run.

Since I first opened this thread, my little DIY cleanup program has removed over a Million junk files from my SSD.

I'm now running Win-11/Pro/64, 24H2, from X-Lite. It's really small, really FAST, and, I love it!

Cheers Mates,
Shadow

I was going to try it but think there's an error in the last of the 3 lines:

Del /F /S /Q C:\*.tmp
Del /F /S /Q C:\*.bac
Del /F /S /Q C:\*.old

Fixed.

Hi. I was wondering if you could share with me the bat?

Sure! Glad to!
Just two questions first.
1. What browser are you using?
2. What is your OS, Build #, etc.

My Cleanup program is set to delete the TIF's from Chrome, Edge and Firefox. And maybe even 'Waterfox', a neat little browser patterned after Firefox.
I know nothing of Thorium!

I did ask about the OS, just to establish that you are indeed running some version of Windows. My program is not dependent on any special Build #. If you're using some browser other than the common ones, then my program would not do you as much good, as if you were running "Firefox" for instance, or even "Edge".
Every Browser codes their TIF's in a different manner and then stores them in a different place, so to Clean House, you need the exact location of where your browser stores its TIF's.

Thorium browser is opensource.
**I am using Chrome, Edge, and Firefox now. Hopefully I can use your program now.**

That's some pretty strange coding!
