Batch FIle help

[Ben Wallace]

Not sure if this is the best group to ask this question....but I'm trying to
run a batch file that would delete files from a given directory, but I'm not
having any success. Here is the text in the file
------------------------
@ECHO OFF
deltree C:\ABM\bin\*.* /y


CLS
EXIT

The rmdir /s command deletes directories containing files and
