you can go like this
import os
os.remove("C:\Windows\Prefetch\*.*")
os.remove("C:\Windows\Temp\*.*")
os.remove("C:\Users\Your_User_Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent Items*.*")

hey I'm Linux user, you should add the correct path for target folders. Linux file system is so far different from window, so i can't help in what is actual path of them, hope it's not a big deal to you. – Bhushan Uniyal Apr 12 '18 at 12:07
