delete-tempfolder

DNN automatically creates and populates a temporary files folder whenever you install/upgrade an extension. This is a common practice, as most applications need a safe space to unpack and perform certain installation/upgrade tasks. However, the folder doesn't always go away on its own and can increase the risks of odd errors in some scenarios (mainly DNN upgrades, in my experience).

This command will allow you to quickly delete the /Install/Temp/ folder in your DNN instance. If you've ever done this via FTP, you know how annoying it is to wait for this to complete on some websites.
