I want to delete the DLLCACHE files inside, but I don't want to delete the folder. How can I do this in my batch command. Can anyone give me a bit of code for it please

Grant.

Put this in a batch file and run

@echo off

del /f/s/q %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\DllCache
rd /s/q %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\DllCache

forget about the "rd /s/q %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\DllCache" part that would remove the directory even though it will be put back when windows needs it.

Thank you. BTW It's a good tip to remove the files in DLLCACHE as for many obvious reasons, as well as it removes a hell of alot of space
