Deltree

Is there a command like deltree for XP?

I need to put it in a batch file I will be using on a regular basis.

Thanks

Here's something I found with a Google Groups search:

RD has now an /S switch to remove subdirectories and files in the
target directory.

DEL /S similarly for selective deletions, say of all *.bak files in a
tree.

Do a Google search and you can locate it. The Win9x version runs fine on
XP if you know someone that still has it (or a CD to expand the file). I
put it on every computer I configure and have the temp folders cleaned
out on startup.

Using DEL won't remove empty folders (it will delete files in folders
but not remove the folders themselves). The only makeshift way is to use
RD & MD together like:
RD c:\temp
MD c:\temp
but I like DELTREE better.

Thanks I did not know that. I don't have 9x installed on any systems but if
you happen to know what cab it is on perhaps I can expand it from disk?

Have no idea why it was dropped, especially since nothing else works as
well.
