Q: How to use a directory name with the logged in user in the script

Hi I have a  small question.

I got a bit rusty in working with the mac command line.

 

I want to create a simple script. f.ex

 

every user has f.ex. a folder named Folder_To_Clean in his homedir.

rm -r /Users/Mac_User/Folder_To_Clean/*

 

now my question is how can I change this script so that I can run for every user after logging in? (and it should clear the Folder_To_Clean in his homedir

 

thought it was someting like this

 

rm -r /Users/%USER%/Folder_To_Clean/*



thanks alot

Use ~ instead of hardcoding the path to the home folder.
