I tested proposals and they work. However I am still having some difficulties with Del command.
When you execute del command you have the message:
Deleted file - "File name"
However when you put echo Del /q /s /f "C:\FolderName\*.*" you don't have the files involved by the delete.
I supposed that a workaround is to list the various folder through Dir?
