Detecting "Temporary Internet Files" folder's location with bat file and delete them

Question

Basically I need to delete all the temporary files and I've got the following script for it. As all the locations are hard coded and not all people use the default location, I was wondering if anyone could help me with script which would be compatible with the current script that would detect all the "Temporary Internet Files" folder's locations from every profiles present and delete the unwanted. The solution would be a great help.

CODE:

  cls
  SET SRC1=%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Documents and Settings
  SET SRC2=Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

  SET SRC5=%SYSTEMROOT%\Temp
  SET SRC6=Cookies


  echo About to delete files from Internet Explorer "Temporary Internet files"
  FOR /D %%X IN ("%SRC1%\*") DO FOR /D %%Y IN ("%%X\%SRC2%\*.*") DO RMDIR /S /Q "%%Y"
