Is it possible to access the files in "<user>\AppData\Local\<node-webkit app name>\Cache" using fs or to clear the local cache of node-webkit programmatically?

I found the solution:

process.env.LOCALAPPDATA
 or for 'roaming' data:
process.env.APPDATA

However, I am having trouble deleting the files while the program is running because it locks the files.

How do you use this? I don't see App as a defined variable
