Delete recently used files issue

[youtuber]

How can I delete user recent files?
None of the following commands work.

#RequireAdmin
FileDelete(@UserProfileDir & "\Recent\New AutoIt v3 Script.au3")
FileDelete("C:\Users\USER\Recent\*.*")
FileRecycle(@UserProfileDir & "\Recent\*.*")
FileRecycle(@HomeDrive & @HomePath & "\Recent\*.*")

 

[Nine]

#include <File.au3>
$array = _FileListToArray (@UserProfileDir & "\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent")
_ArrayDisplay ($array)

@Nine Thanks

I distracted, I even researched, I never thought she was in that position.

You also need to check attributes of these files before deleting them, as stated in the Filedelete function help file:

Quote

Some file attributes can make the deletion impossible, if this is the case look at FileSetAttrib() to change the attributes of a file.

You can also use the del command from windows as an alternative:

;this function will delete everything inside a folder, without deleting the folder itself

func deletefoldercontent ($path)

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'del /s /f /q "' & $path & "*.*" & '"', "", @SW_HIDE) ;delete all files in the directory and sub directories

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'del /s /f /q "' & $path & "*.*" & '" /A:H', "", @SW_HIDE) ;delete all hidden files in the directory and sub directories

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'for /f "delims=?" %f in (''dir /ad /b ' & '"' & $path & '"' & ''') do rd /s /q "' & $path & '%f"', "", @SW_HIDE) ;list all subfolders and delete them

EndFunc

deletefoldercontent(@UserProfileDir & "\Recent\)
