Does anyone know where I can find a VBscript that will delete files?
I'm not interested in learning the VBscript language.

Hi

You will find a lot of examples here:
http://groups.google.com/groups?as_...roup=*.scripting&as_drrb=q&as_qdr=y&lr=&hl=en

Note that if you want to delete files from a file collection returned
from the File System Object, you should *never* do this when still
looping through the collection. The collection may get mixed up with
unpredictable results. Create an array of the file paths first to
avoid this.

In the article below there is a WSH script (vbscript) by Michael
Harris that deletes files x days old in a specific folder (and
optionally all subfolders), using an array of the file paths.

WSH 5.6 documentation (local help file) can be downloaded
from here if you haven't got it already:
