Hello,

do you know how to delete a folder (containing files (audio, video, text, spreadsheet, etc...)) via a MS-DOS command, basically with a batch file?
I know "rmdir "C:\....\...\"" but it refuses to delete the folder because it contains files.
I know "del "C:\...\...\"" but it asks the user for confirmation, which is too slow.
So to summarize the question: a MS-DOS command that deletes folders containing files without confirmation.

Thank you for your help.
Configuration: Windows Vista/Windows XP Firefox 3.0.1

It's all good, I found it. For those who are looking, you need to do:
rmdir "C:\...\..." /S/Q

this deletes all the files inside the folder, without deleting the folder itself.

Could you remind me the content of your patch for planning the deletion of files from several directories?

Thank you.

WARNING that the /S implies the deletion of the parent folder.

Super, thank you very much, it works. Remember to run the DOS as an admin too.
