Clean up temp directory automatically in Windows 10

Create a new batch file with the following content:
```
	@echo off
	del "%tmp%\*.*" /s /q /f
	FOR /d %%p IN ("%tmp%\*.*") DO rmdir "%%p" /s /q
```
This will remove the contents of the Temp directory in Windows 10.

e.g.: delete only .txt files then @echo off del “%tmp%\*.txt” /s /q /f FOR /d %%p IN (“%tmp%\*.*”) DO rmdir “%%p” /s /q
