Intune Policy for automatically emptying downloads Folder
Hi i am new to Microsoft Intune. I am looking for way to automatically empty the download folder when a user logs out. I previously had a powershell script that had to be configured on every workstation in order to empty this downloads folder when a user logs out. Is there a way to configure this in Microsoft Intune?

Hi
I wouldn't create a specific Powershell script, but utilize a built-in feature from Windows 10, called Storage Sense.
Storage Sense can automatically cleanup certain unused files and also files in the Downloads.
check out this blog for more information:

You are looking for the 'ConfigStorageSenseDownloadsCleanupThreshold' setting. If you put that at '1', all downloads are deleted after one day of not being opened.
- This is really helpful, however, can this be used for the exact use case i.e. clear downloads on each logout?
- There is no built-in way to do this. You would have to create a scheduled task through Intune to do this
- I think it’s possible using Intune PowerShell. I have not used the script below but it may work for your situation.
Hope this helps!
