The Pulseway Automation contains the Builtin "Cleanup Temporary Files" powershell.  I thought it might be worth a conversation.  Here's the current code:

$folders = @("C:\Windows\Temp\*", "C:\Documents and Settings\*\Local Settings\temp\*", "C:\Users\*\Appdata\Local\Temp\*", "C:\Users\*\Appdata\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\*", "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download", "C:\Windows\System32\FNTCACHE.DAT")
foreach ($folder in $folders) {Remove-Item $folder -force -recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue}
exit 0

I'm not sure it is worth removing the SoftwareDistribution\Download files?   From what I understand in Windows 10 you have to run, net stop wuauserv   AND  net stop bits  What are your preferences and experience with doing this?

Is it worth adding these locations:  C:\WINDOWS\tmp,  C:\tmp,  C:\temp, %temp%, %tmp%, C:\WINDOWS\ff*.tmp?

Is deleting "C:\Windows\System32\FNTCACHE.DAT" the same as deleting "if exist C:\WINDOWS\ShellIconCache del /f /q "C:\WINDOWS\ShellI~1\*.*"  ?

Can anyone confirm this will work on Windows 7, 8.1 and 10?
