DELETE COMMAND

[Guest]

Hi, i am using the DEL command, and i am trying to delete all the files in a
certain folder.

The command did work, but it did NOT delete the folders within that
particular folder.

I did specify DEL /Q /S C:\"Documents and Settings\Rafik\Local
Settings\Temp\*.*" So how do i delete the folders within this folder? - as
they remain there. what can i add to the command to achieve the deletion of
all folders within TEMP.

I want to learn the using commands etc, which is the reason i am trying to
do this.

Can anyone help.

regards
