                            else
                            {
                                Scan(path + "\\" + dd, punct + "  ");
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    catch { }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Here we check all folders and subfolders to fine temprorary files or folders and then delete them.

                TimeSpan dif = DateTime.Now.Date - file.CreationTime.Date;
                if (dif.TotalDays <= 1)
                    file.Delete();
            }
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
}

Description of Program class

Here we connect the path to the desktop directoy for all users. Then we inwoke the Scan method with path argument. The Scan method delete all subfiles and subfolders. From the program we delete folders and files on current desktop directory.
