I am trying to delete temporary internet files from my pc with a script. I am using unlink and rmdir in the script, but when I run it, it seems like it deletes it but when you reboot they show back up. I can delete other files from other folders and they do not show back up. Can someone let me how to fix this. Here is the code I am using. 
$user = getlogin;
$dir = "C:/Documents and Settings/".$user."/Local Settings/Temporary I
+nternet Files";

chdir $dir;
opendir(DIR,"$dir") or die "Could not open $dir:$!";
while (my $file=readdir(DIR)){     
     unlink $file ;
   system ( 'cmd', '/c', 'rmdir', '/s', '/q' , $dir);

}

closedir(DIR);
