what is the command to remove fiels?

Here's a little batch script; if it's really just about deleting the folder, there's no need to map a drive, you can just use a UNC path.
Save this as Whatever.cmd; the script is currently in test mode and will only display the delete commands it would normally run. It will first delete all files in the folder specified, then all subfolders. Remove the uppercase "ECHO"s to run it for real.

@echo off
setlocal
set Folder=\\SomeServer\SomeShare\SomeFolder
for %%a in ("%Folder%\*.*") do (
  ECHO del "%%~a"
)
for /d %%a in ("%Folder%\*.*") do (
  ECHO rd /s /q "%%~a"
)

Select allOpen in new window

I had modified the script as below :
@echo off
setlocal
set Folder=\\192.168.1.22\da$
for %%a in ("%Folder%\*.*") do (
 
)
for /d %%a in ("%Folder%\*.*") do (
 
)
             


While running I'm getting ) was unexpected at this time

@echo off
setlocal
set Folder=\\192.168.1.22\da$
for %%a in ("%Folder%\*.*") do (
   del "%%~a"
)
for /d %%a in ("%Folder%\*.*") do (
   rd /s /q "%%~a"
)

This done the job for me ! If you dont mind can you give a brief of each line, about what it does?

oBdA,

 Any VBscript that does with same functionality

As for what the batch script does:
for %%a in ("%Folder%\*.*") do (
   del "%%~a"
)
That's a standard "for" loop over all files in the directory that's defined in the variable "folder"; in the loop, the currently processed file can be referenced using the loop variable "%%a".

for /d %%a in ("%Folder%\*.*") do (
   rd /s /q "%%~a"
)
Basically the same as above, but with the option "/d" to process directories instead of files.
rd /s /q "%%~a" will then delete the currently processed directory quietly (/q), including all subfolders (/s).

oBdA,

Thanks for the explanation. Any VBscript that does work with same functionality, Please let me know?

ObDa Thanks for the Help & timely response
