<div>
Juste create a .cmd or .bat file and put something like that in it :<br />
<br />
del /q *<br />
<br />
/q is for quiet mode. This will not delete directories (rmdir or deltree could be used for that purpose).<br />
Add /f for deleting readonly files too, the content of the .cmd / .bat should then be :<br />
<br />
del /f /q *<br />

DEL /q /s /f C:\erace<br />
<br />
If your erace folder name contains spaces like &quot;c:\erace this folder\&quot;<br />
DEL /q /s /f &nbsp;&quot;c:\erace this folder&quot;

hi guys, <br />
<br />
In Windows :<br />
<br />
i need batch file script *.cmd or *.bat that delete all the files (Files ONLY, not subfolder) in a particular directory. For example c:\erase<br />
<br />
It also erases all the files in subfolders. Kindly note that all the subfolder should not be deleted. So it only delete files, not directories.

Batch file to delete all files

Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) was an operating system for x86-based personal computers, and traces of it are still found in the Windows operating system. DOS is still used in some embedded systems and for certain legacy 16-bit networks.

Microsoft DOS

The term 'shell' refers to a general class of text-based command interpreters most often associated with the UNIX and Linux operating systems. Popular shells include Bourne, Debian Almquist (dash), Korn (ksh), Bourne Again (bash) and the C shell family (csh). Some view the DOS 'cmd' prompt as a minimal shell of sorts. It is also possible to install Cygwin on Windows and emulate a full Unix environment with complete shell capabilities. Terminal emulators, such as xterm, GNOME Terminal and OS X Terminal, can be used to access shell.

Shell Scripting

Windows PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on the .NET Framework. PowerShell provides full access to the Component Object Model (COM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), enabling administrators to perform administrative tasks on both local and remote Windows systems as well as WS-Management and Common Information Model (CIM) enabling management of remote Linux systems and network devices.
