So, as I've stated in the past, I'm part of the IT team at a medical center. I've recently come across a lack of diskspace problem. we have 9 or 10 computers in the ER that are avaliable to employees to use. The problem is, when there's downtime, the users tend to surf the web, and as you all know when you surf the web with IE it tends to cache a fair amount of data. We have a few machines that are full of crap. I was wondering if anybody had a script or know where I could get a script to delete all temporary internet files out of all the profiles on each of the computers.. there's between 40 and 80 users that have used these workstations, so if you can imagine that if each user has used up their default 100megs in IE on a 10 gig partition, you can see where my problem lies... Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I've been using treesize to determine which users need a talking too.. :p
 
In IE, under tools, internet options, Settings button under temporary internet files, you can set the size of a the cache. There should be a way to prevent the user from changing this. Just give them a new default size to work with. But if you set it too small be prepared to hear users complaining about slow load times.

<--is secretly glad to be on desktop support and not on helpdesk..

i don't have to listen to complaints.. ^_^
 
if i created a batch file with this line in it, it should in theory delete that folder.. the problem i just ran into was when i run that command with the correct username in there it claims that the the directory i was trying to delete wasn't there... what i want to do is create line after line of users temp internet files to be deleted...so i'll be typing in all 80 something usernames.. :p


Code: 
del "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\"
