C: drive cleanup batch script style...

Recently, I have been going through a number of my departments procedures. It seems that during our windows patching cycles updates continuously fail on servers due to insufficient C: drive space. While cleaning up the necessary files for patching to complete is far from difficult, it is relatively monotonous. With this in mind I set out to write a simple script to clear many of the temporary file locations on Windows 2003, 2008 and 2012 servers, thus automating the C drive cleanup process for my team and I:

NOTE: After copying and pasting this script into a .txt file please make sure to rename/save as filename.bat (filename can be changed to whatever title you would like the script to be named - ed.). This process might require you to "show hidden files and paths" to verify the file is named correctly.  Also, make sure to run this script  as administrator from the server you wish to cleanup. This can be done simply by right clicking the script ([filename].bat) and selecting "run as administrator"

This script is now being used by the majority of my team members and has taken a job that can take up to 10 minutes and reduced it down to under 1. Our server monitoring team is even looking into pushing this script every time it is determined that a servers main drive falls under 800MB of free space which could save our team even more time.
