I need a batch file to delete particular folders like
C:\windows\Temp

When i say this, I dont WANT the TEMP folder to be deleted by all the contents of it. I mean all the data inside it including FILES and folders.

Please help.Do a change directory to C:\Windows\Temp
Then USE the remove directory command to remove the directories.
Then use the delete command to remove the files in the TEMP directory.

Code: [Select]rd /s /q c:\windows\temp
md c:\windows\temp
See, it got executed using this code.


For /D %%I in (D:\test\*.*) DO RD /s /q %%I
Del /F /Q /S D:\test\*.*

However I am unable to use this when there is a space between the path like D:\test\pratik MEHTA

In the above path there is a space between the folder name PRATIK and MEHTA. Hence it doesnt execute. Please provide a resolution. Quote from: Pratik_23 on January 18, 2012, 09:20:42 PM
