Windows 10: How to Clear FireFox cache for multiple users with a command/script

I am trying to create a batch file/ powershell script to delete users firefox cache.


The main problem I am facing is that the folder that contains the cache is different from user to user.


Currently I have del /f /q %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*.default\cache2


The wildcard *.default is not working to select folders that end with .default. Any suggestions or other methods of getting this done?


Powershell or Batch solutions welcomed!

Problems with clearing cache with Microsoft Edge

Hi Destin,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern, and we in Community will try to help you in the best possible way we can.

I would suggest you to follow the below steps to clear the cache from Edge and check if the issue persist.

• 
  Open Edge browser.
  
• 
  On the top right corner click on the three dots
  
  
• 
  Then below click on Settings
  
• 
  Under clear browsing data
  
• 
  Tap or click on Choose what to clear
  
• 
  From the list check cached data
  and files, browsing history
  
• 
  And click on clear.
  

I would also suggest you to clear all temporary files from your computer and check if it helps:

• Press Windows+R key on the keyboard.
• Type %temp% and hit Enter.

Try the SFC scan to resolve the issue. SFC scans the corrupted files and recover it automatically.

To run the SFC/SCANNOW command in Windows 10:

• 
  Left click on Start button.
  
• 
  Right click on Command Prompt (Admin) option which will let you run
  'Run as administrator’.
  
• 
  Command Prompt Window pops up.
  
• 
  Type: SFC /SCANNOW
