Batch file. Delete all files and folders in a directory

Question

I want to have a batch file that will delete all the folders and files in my cache folder for my wireless toolkit.

Currently I have the following:

cd         


        

Answer 1

You cannot delete everything with either rmdir or del alone:

• rmdir /s /q does not accept wildcard params. So rmdir /s /q * will error.
• del /s /f /q will delete all files, but empty subdirectories will remain.

My preferred solution (as I have used in many other batch files) is:

rmdir /s /q . 2>NUL
