Hi I need to delete the temp files using one main account for different users.
I can delete the temp files using the solution provided

But I need to delete it for different users.
How to do it using the names of different users from Config file?

First you need to have that admin access on those folders

if you have as the location is common have a place holder to change the usernme and access different folder

eg:c:\Usrrs\USERNAME\andsoon - in this USERNAME can be replaced with each user details you have

You can use for loop with users list you have

then inside that use tempfolderpath.Replace(Environment.Username,currentItem)

check how you are getting the username and accordingly change code if needed

Another option, so that you don’t have to keep track of any potential user on that system is this:

Assign s_AllUserFolders = directory.getfolders("C:\Users\")
For Each s_UserFolder in s_AllUserFolders
    assign s_Tempfolder = path.combine(s_UserFolder, "RestOfThePAth\andsoon")
    If directory.exists(s_Tempfolder) then
        For each s_File in Directory.GetFiles(s_Tempfolder)
            Delete s_File
        End  For
    End If
End For

Translate this into activities where needed.
This whould dynamically clean all of the tempfolders for any user.

You may need to wrap the delete s_File itself in a try/catch, in case any file is still used/locked/etc.

@Kunal_Jain

Does your tempfolderpath contain the username that is printed? And is it of exact same casingn?

If not then change the casing or do split and get the username as needed

Hi @Anil_G
Yes it contains the username and while replacing it it is not changing the value.
Thanks in advance!!

Then username is not matching i guess check that may be casing issue use .tolower on both sides
