Open original thread
Hello Friends,
I am developing a c# windows application in which i want to delete all temporary internet files from folder "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files"
I am able to delete files from "C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp" with the help of following code:
<pre lang="cs">private void Form2_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
 void ClearFolder(DirectoryInfo folder)
 {
          foreach (FileInfo file in folder.GetFiles())
          {
                try
               {
                    file.Delete();
                }
                catch{}
          }
        foreach (DirectoryInfo subfolder in folder.GetDirectories())
       {
            ClearFolder(subfolder);
        }
  }




but this code is not working for the files which are stored at "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files"

this folder is open from IE browser: tools -> Internet option -> general -> Browsing History -> Settings -> view files
then open this folder("C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files")
which contain all type of files which i browse on internet.
Is it possible to delete these files from c# windows application. If yes then please give me any idea.

Thanks for your support.
