Ok, let me try ONE more time with the right command"S"... @echo off rmdir C:\mydir /Q /S mkdir C:\mydir
this would delete the directory and recreate it since, like Jim said, I don't believe there is a single DOS command that is equivalent to the linux command he posted (you would need quotes around the FULL path if there are spaces in it anywhere.) ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

I don't think the del or rmdir commands in windows will handle this situation.
