Deleting subfolders and files within a directory

Asked by tbecerra in OS / 2 Operating System, Microsoft Operating Systems, Windows XP Operating System

I need a batch file to delete all subfolders and files within a directory
For example:
I have directory c:\deltest
and in that directory there are two subfolders called test1 and test2
in those folders are misc .txt files that fill up until deleted.
I need a batch file to delete test1 and test2 but leave the directory deltest in tact.

This is in Windows XP !
