Check out the LocalAppData environment variable. Also, once you retrieve the
value of the environment variable and assign it to a variable, use the
variable. For example, try:
========
Dim LocalAppData, WshShell, objFSO

Set WshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

LocalAppData = WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%LocalAppData%")

objFSO.DeleteFile(LocalAppData & "\test.vbs")
=========
You can troubleshoot with statements similar to:

  Wscript.Echo LocalAppData & "\test.vbs"
