Delete with .bat file.

[Guest]

I need some help with creating a .bat file to remove multiple folders and
files on the PCs in my network, but I haven't been able to find any guides
for this. So can someone show me how to create one?

"Find" implies you have searched. Perhaps if you told us how you searched -
we can show you tricks to improve that ability so that you might find the
answer yourself in the future.

As for a guide on deleting files in a batch script..

START --> RUN

CMD

OK.

Type in:

del /?
<enter>

or you can type:

erase /?
<enter>

(Note that <enter> is pressing the ENTER key on the keyboard.)

also another command that may be useful to you:

rmdir /?
<enter>

Those command should be what you need (del/erase being the same command
really) to delete any files and folders you may want to from inside a batch
script. You could use "environment variables" to specify things like:

%SystemDrive% (The drive letter for your system drive - like C
%SystemRoot% (The root directory of your Windows install - like C:\Windows)
%USERPROFILE% (The directory of the current users profile - like
C:\Documents and Settings\Current User)

Etc... Use the SET command from the command prompt to get a list of normal
variables.

You might want to google for:

You might want to rethink the wisdom of using BAT files to delete stuff. Can
you spell C:\*.* boys and girls?

Yes but they are handy. I use one to delete a pain in the ass file created
by my scanner driver. Its a debug file thats created and updated every
second and a few bytes are added to it every second. I created a small one
line bat file to delete it and run it as a scheduled task.
