aval	Posted - 10/15/2009 : 10:19:00 AM I right click on the Command Prompt icon in the Start Menu and select "Run as Administrator". Let's make that clear from the start. Then I attempt to delete the users temp files (where the AV program had supposedly detected a virus - before quarantining it). So let's just clean up the TEMP folder, OK?

aval	Posted - 10/15/2009 : 1:43:19 PM quote: those are folders which DEL doesn't remove Or files? Because my second attempt: C:\Users\user1\AppData\Local\Temp>del *.tmp only targets files (folder couldn't have a .tmp extension)
cj_berlin	Posted - 10/15/2009 : 12:28:26 PM David, those are folders which DEL doesn't remove... you would need RD /S for this.
