    Hi guys,

    I'm looking to create a Scheduled Task that will delete all Browsing Data (Chrome) on startup.
    I could use an extension like Click & Clean but am trying to move away from clogging things up with browser extensions.

    FYI: Windows 10 Pro x64 v.10.0.15063

    Any help/guidance would be much appreciated.

    Kind Regards

    For cache and cookies, you could schedule a task like this:

    del /S %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache\*
    del /S %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cookies\*
    del /S %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\History

    Why not to use CCleaner? You can use this to create a task at startup.
    Code:
    "C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner64.exe" /AUTO
    Or even better, turn off computer with it, that prevents some malware from running after startup.
    Code:
    "C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner64.exe" /AUTO /SHUTDOWN
