A few months ago we released a new version of Network Administrator that had the ability to clean temp files out of user profiles, and the system temp folder:
A good friend named Rob emailed me about an issue he was having – it seems that the plugin did not always clean out all of the files and folders in temp
After some digging, it seems we had a misplaced “On Error Resume Next” in the VB Script.
We fixed that, and then improved the output to include a total:

If you already have it installed, just install this version right over it to update.
One thing to take note of – for the remote capability to work you are going to need to open the admin share on remote machines.

Thanks for the update. This is a great way to clear up some space. Especially on our terminal servers with users that never come back again to login
What about IE and other browser temp files? Those seem to take up a bunch of space too.
Steve,
I bought Network Administrator 3 months ago. How to I update with this version?
Hello Jennifer,
That is something we are looking into for the next build of that plugin. It is a little more difficult because some browser versions store their temp in different places.
Hi Mike,
Just make sure Network Administrator is closed, and then install right over it. It will automatically update.
