Delete just the contents of a directory

[Owkmann]

How can I use the command window to delete just a directory's contents
(files and subdirectories) without deleting the directory?

rd /s removes the current directory and all subdirectories
del just removes files, not subdirectories

Thanks for any help,

it is saver to do it from Windows Explorer.
is here some reason why you cannot us it.
it is all too easy to screw things up using manual commands.
