Remove-ScreenConnectFiles

Description​

Removes all but the newest ScreenConnect version folder from the ScreenConnect working directory (C:\WINDOWS\SystemTemp\ScreenConnect). ScreenConnect leaves a version-named folder behind on every client update, and the accumulating folders are being flagged by SOC tooling.

Usage​

  1. Verifies the ScreenConnect working directory exists.
  2. Enumerates the immediate child folders and keeps only those whose names are valid version numbers (e.g. 25.1.10.9197). Any folder that is not a version number is logged and left untouched.
  3. Sorts the version folders newest-to-oldest and retains only the single newest one. If more than one folder resolves to the newest version, only one is kept.
  4. Removes every other version folder.

Removes every ScreenConnect version folder except the newest one.
