I didn't have any joy trying to delete a single file, so I just went for clearing the entire temp files when closing IE.

Hi<br />
<br />
I need to delete one file from the temporary internet files folder using group policy. Seems easy enough, however the file is never deleted and I get this error in app logs: The system cannot find the path specified.<br />
<br />
If I enter the file path in to Windows Explorer, it successfully finds the file:<br />
<br />
%userprofile%\AppData\Loca<wbr />l\Microsof<wbr />t\Windows\<wbr />Temporary Internet Files\footerimage1<br />
<br />
If I use this exact same path in the group policy (user, pref, windows, files), it can't find the file.<br />
<br />
Windows 7 clients.<br />
<br />
Any ideas please?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
James
