Hi everyone!

I try to remove the tempfiles in windows 8... I try with Python:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

import os
# Confirm the current working directory 
os.getcwd()
# use '\\' while chaning the directory 
os.chdir("C:\\") 

os.system('del *.tmp /s /f')

or

import os
os.system("cd.. & cd.. & del *.tmp /s /f")

or

import os
os.remove('C:/Users/XYZ/AppData/Local/Temp')

... say: PermissionError: [WinError 5] Acceso denegado: 'C:/Users/XYZ/AppData/Local/Temp'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...but it is not running... can you help me please?

Regards
Karlo
