More Disk Cleanup redux

Some months ago, I wrote that I had created a simple Batch file to remove thousands of junk files from a Win-11 hard drive.
Several people wanted that batch file, and I provided it. But, among other things, it only deleted the Temporary Internet Files (TIF's) from Edge and Firefox. (the only browsers that I use)

However, it was reported to me, that many persons use "Chrome" as their everyday browser.
So I've installed Chrome on one of my lesser PC's, and did some browsing to create some TIF's.
Then I ran my Cleanup.bat program with this line added:

Del /F /S /Q "C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache\*.*"

Sure nuff, all the Chrome TIF's were GONE! Mission accomplished.

So, if anyone reading this has my Cleanup batch file, and they use Chrome, they can add this line somewhere in the middle of the batch file, for a Cleanup of the Chrome TIF's.

Or if you use Chrome, and you don't have my Cleanup batch file, just create your own text file with the above blue line, and save it as Cleanup.bat and you'll be able to clean the Chrome TIF's out of your own PC.

I'm really curious:
Who has tried the line that I provided earlier, to clean out the temporary Internet Files from "Chrome". ???
Here's that line again:
Del /F /S /Q "C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache\*.*"

It can either be run from a CMD prompt of from within a Batch File. When run from a Batch File, add the word "pause" after the command line. That will keep the window open on the screen, so you can see just what has been removed. The window will stay open then, till you "Touch any Key" to continue.

I've given my latest Cleanup.bat program (batch file) to several people who use Chrome, and they have reported favorable results.

Good Luck, Mates,

I'm still waiting, to see if anyone who uses Chrome, has tried the Cleanup line that I posted earlier.
