I am looking to delete OfficeFileCache folder from the current user\'s computer. Currently I have..

Option Explicit
Dim obj : Set obj =CreateObject (\"wscrip         


        

Answer 1

When in doubt, read the documentation:

ExpandEnvironmentStrings Method

Returns an environment variable's expanded value.

In your case:

fso.DeleteFolder obj.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\16.0\OfficeFileCache")

Answer 2

If you're using some path like

C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\...

This is better:

%LocalAppData%\...

So

Fso.DeleteFolder Obj.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Office\16.0\OfficeFileCache")

does it better, in case the user set their %UserProfile% to another directory.
