Unable to delete Temporary ASP.NET Files

  • 772

I am trying to clear Temporary ASP.Net files folder using following command

rmdir /q /s "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files

But I am getting acces denied error even after iis is stopped. How can I delete/clear the folder?

    If this is a permissions issue and not that the files are locked by a process then these steps should work.

    From an administrative command prompt run these commands.

    • takeown /f . /r /d y
    • icacls . /grant administrators:F /t
    • del . /f /q
    • rd /s /q
