Windows 10: Deleting Files in Common Files

Hello,

I've been trying to delete a lot of unused files in order to free up space on my computer. AS far as I can see I'm the administrator for my computer and I only have one login. No one else uses my computer and it's a personal laptop. Unfortunately, I keep seeing that the file needs administrator permission to be deleted. I'm starting to get really frustrated and could really use any good advice.

:)

 

BAT File That Deletes Files Below Specific Size

@travva : Doesn't your script delete all files in a directory that are over 1MB in size?

Shouldnt that line be .... for %%j in (*) do if %%~zj lss 10000 del %%j ... to delete files smaller than 10k ?

 

BAT File That Deletes Files Below Specific Size

I am wondering how to make a bat file that can delete all files below a certain size (in this case 10kb). I have a folder on my server that has game screenshots in it (taken by Punkbuster) and need to sort out the good shots from the bad, and figure this is easier than manually deleting thousands of files.. The "bad" shots (blanks with failed renders) range in size from 4kb-8kb, so the bat file can delete anything lower than 10kb with no issues. Is this possible, and if so how do I make one? Thanks for your help.


*EDIT*
I have found a bat file that can delete specific types/sizes, but it only allows you to delete file sizes of 0kb (empty text documents and such), and replacing the "0" with "10" or any other number hasn't worked for me so far.
