private void delete_load (object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DirectoryInfo Dir = new DirectoryInfo(System.IO.Path.GetTempPath());

FileInfo[] Files = Dir.GetFiles();

foreach (FileInfo file in Files)
{
listView1.Items.Add(file.Name);
}
}

...and your definition of a "junk file" is what?

Srikanth59 17-Nov-14 8:24am

junk files means temp files in system

Dave Kreskowiak 17-Nov-14 11:54am

That's not a sufficient definition.

"temp file in system" can mean anything and not all "temp files" have the same extension, so how are you going to determine what is a "temp file" and what isn't??

I didn't get you..

can you please clarify your need..

Srikanth59 17-Nov-14 7:59am

i created one windows application in c#.net now i need to get all the temp files of the system in the listview and then delete all that files

Kiran Wilson 17-Nov-14 8:04am

I hope you are getting all temp files from my earlier sample?
you can use the same loop to delete all the files in a button click..
I hope that is the working structure of your application.

thank you yes it got all the files
