Setup hotkeys to remove temp files

on

Every time you can't go and clean temp directories to manually, so you can assign hotkeys to perform this delete operation. Follow the below steps to setup hotkeys:

  • Goto run command and type prefetch and hit the OK button

  • Copy the location of this directory, like in our case the below location


    • Goto run command and type temp and hit the OK button
    • Copy the location of this directory, like in our case the below location
    • Now create the following batch file (.bat) with above-copied directories. Make sure you are using correct system directory in the below lines .


    del %temp%\*.* /F /S /Q

del C:\Windows\Prefetch\*.* /F /S /Q

del C:\Windows\Temp\*.* /F /S /Q

echo temp_cleared

pause
    • Above batch file uses del command to delete the files in specified directories using options /F /S /Q
    • Now save this file as clean.bat at any location
    • Goto desktop and right click -> New -> Shorcut
    • Choose the location of clean.bat file and click Next button

    • Enter the name for your shortcut and click finish

    • Once the shortcut has been created, right click and go to properties and place the cursor in the shortcut text box and press the keys that you want to assign to this shortcut as hotkeys, as here I am using Ctrl + Alt + D
    • Click the OK button to finish.
    • Now every time you feel your system slow, you can press Ctrl + Alt + D to clear the cache.
