Ced Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Hi, I'm new to these forums, so i hope i'm doing it right, I am a big user of visual studio, and if more of you are out there you might know about its dreadful tendency to leave tons of small files all over your harddrive (depending on what kinds of projects you do). I recently found this explanation on how to find all these files and remove them, it seems rather simple except that in batch it's a lot to do, So i thought, would be awesome if it could be added to CCleaner's cleaning rules, that way i wouldn't have to deal with it all seperate. The 'tutorial' i found with the examples can be found here: http://weblogs.asp.net/psheriff/archive/2011/11/08/clean-up-after-visual-studio.aspx I hope you take it in consideration, it would surely be a nice feat for companies that have programmers hired, and ofcourse people like me that just like a clean programming rig. If you need someone to volunteer in beta testing said rules i'd be happy to oblige too, in case you'd need someone for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 How about these (add them to a file called winapp2.ini in your CCleaner folder) [Visual Studio Website Cache*] LangSecRef=3021 DetectFile=%LocalAppData%\microsoft\websiteCache default=false FileKey1=%LocalAppData%\microsoft\websiteCache|*.*|RECURSE [Visual Studio Backup*] LangSecRef=3021 DetectFile1=%Documents%\Visual Studio 2005 DetectFile2=%Documents%\Visual Studio 2008 Default=False FileKey1=%Documents%\Visual Studio 2005|*.* FileKey2=%Documents%\Visual Studio 2008|*.* [Visual Studio Assembly Cache*] LangSecRef=3021 DetectFile=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Visual Studio\*\ProjectAssemblies Default=False FileKey1=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Visual Studio\*\ProjectAssemblies|*.* [ASP.NET*] LangSecRef=3021 DetectFile=%WinDir%\microsoft.net\ Default=False FileKey1=%WinDir%\Microsoft.net\Framework\*\Temporary ASP.NET Files|*.*|RECURSE FileKey2=%WinDir%\Microsoft.net\Framework64\*\Temporary ASP.NET Files|*.*|RECURSE winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ced Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 It seems to work! Though the actual amount of tempfiles was scarce, since i already had deleted most previously. Also, that winapp2.ini you're hosting is amazing, so much extra stuff to clean, thanks! Gonna use it as part of my standard app suite in every fresh windows install from now on.
