bat file to delete .bak files in sub folders

[Guest]

I want to write a batch file to detlete *.bak files from the master folder
and all its sub folders
C:\master\sub1\etc
how would I do this?

the del command has a comfirm for multiple file deletion. You can pipe an
enter with echo.
....
cd C:\master
echo y | del *.bak
cd C:\master\sub1\
echo y | del *.bak
....

The /s switch will cause the command to run through the current folder
and all its sub folders.

del /s c:\master\*.bak

the /q switch will "quiet" the command, you will not see its actions or
verbose asking for confirmation.

del /s /q c:\master\*.bak

Use the @Echo off if you want to see none of the commands:

The batch file contains 2 simple lines and a return line at the end:

===============================================
@echo off
del /s /q c:\master\*.bak

===============================================

Isn't it wonderful to see DOS lurking within the very bowels of whatever
incarnation of Windows we may have to deal with?
