Windows 10: Problem deleting certain user\temp directories

I perform maintenance on several Windows 10 VMs that contain many users on each VM. I use this clumsy batch file from administrative command prompt to automate the process.del /s/f/q C:\Users\user1\AppData\Local\Temp\*.*del /s/f/q C:\Users\user2\AppData\Local\Temp\*.*del /s/f/q C:\Users\user3\AppData\Local\Temp\*.*..and so forth.Problem is the directories that get left behind accumulate enough to cause performance issues. I can delete these as administrator from file explorer and using rmdir /s from administrative command prompt, but neither of can be automated. Here is an example of the ma

I've been curious as to if it is safe to delete these .tmp files in the C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\Temp directory. If not the can someone please provide a full SAFE list of directories for any and all TEMP file(s) that are 100% SAFE to delete within Windows 10.

Thanks,

Can I delete temporary User Profiles and folders from Users directory?

I am trying to determine whether I can delete TEMP User Profiles. One of my Win 10 Pro machines was updated to Version 1903 last night. After rebooting and trying to log in, I received the message "The User Profile Service service failed the sign-in." I was about the try repairing the registry but decided to just do several reboots. For some reason, this fixed the sign-in issue. However, now I notice that four temporary User Profiles were created, all starting with TEMP.



Looking at the registry entries in ProfileList, I see the entry ending in 1001 (which is for user haisler) and the one ending in 1003 (which is for user adminwh), and these look OK and work OK for sign-in. So my sign-in problem is fixed. None of the entries in the ProfileList are connected to the TEMP user profiles.



Looking at folders/files stored for the User profiles starting with TEMP (like Desktop, Documents, etc), I don't see any files there the are connected to the main user (haisler).

So Questions: Is it safe to delete the four folders starting with TEMP in the Users directory? Is there any other step that needs to be taken to delete these four User Profiles and associated files?

 

Directory Size Utility

First of all nice utility, Mindweaver!
Second of all, it's so nice to see that this section ain't dead.

I have a few questions/suggestions, maybe you'd want to see ...

• maybe you rename Get Folder button caption to something more intuitive? Add Folder, Get Folder Size, Check Folder Size or something like that?
  
• Could you add subfolder files to the right pane? (it can be a tickbox with include sub dirs)
  
• maybe you also add export list to excel?
  
• there's delete file button maybe you add delete folder button too?
  
• and finally maybe you can add UP button for directories?
