C# code to clear internet temporary files

Question

C#.NET code to clear temporary internet files of internet explorer of any user.

Example: for user afvan0771 , there are temp internet files located at

C:\Users\afvan0771\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files

i want to clear all of them through c# code when button is clicked

So, what's the question here actually? (or) you mean ... you need someone to write the code for you? — Rahul, Jun 04 '16 at 11:48
Please provide what you have tried and give more insight on how do you want to achieve your goal. Also more insight would help a lot. Right now I doubt anyone can help you since the case is not explained at all. — Kamil Solecki, Jun 04 '16 at 11:51
tried deleting the files using the path mentioned below string path = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.InternetCache) but its not deleting any temp files — habeeb afvan, Jun 04 '16 at 12:20
you should not do that... User can clear files himself if desired. — Phil1970, Jun 04 '16 at 14:32

Here's example code:

            Directory.Delete(@"C:\examples\Directory", true);

Deletes the specified directory and, if indicated, any subdirectories and files in the directory.

You could do this to get the path of temp internet files:

string path = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.InternetCache)

And then iterate over the directory and sub directories to delete filesa and folders

[edit] I just see that you want user specific environment variable. Maybe this question could help you: Related question
