    I have used this free tool on Windows 7 for years, https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/354/A-Utility-to-Clean-Up-Compiler-Temp-Files , it's useful. I now want to use this utility to clean up compiler temp files on Windows 10, but after registered the DirClean.dll file, the two menu items do not show on the context menu. I check the source files, but I can't find what is wrong. Thank you for help!

          If you knew the extensions that you wanted to routinely delete (e.g., obj, tmp, pdb), you could simply add them to a BAT file something like: del /s *.obj del /s *.tmp ... Put the BAT file in the parent folder of your work area and run it when needed. You could even create a scheduled task to do it automatically.

            Thank you for the alternative method. I will try the BAT file. Can anyone find the reason why the free tool failed to work on Windows 10? Thanks!
