Hi, Mike.

and that will do the trick when you execute the batch program in a
DOS window or from the Run command line.
Even easier, put a shortcut to the batch file on your desktop or
elsewhere, and click on it to run it.
Uh ... I think that is not gonna work too well, if you are in the wrong
directory (your desktop?) when you run it. In fact, I think my previous
advice to use the Run command line has the same problem! Oops.
So, best to have it in a folder that is in your path and then execute it
from a DOS window in the correct directory.
As, also mentioned by others for the DEL command, if you want all backup
files in a directory tree removed, you can add the /S switch. What was
not mentioned is that you can add that switch to the DIR command too!
BTW, I would be very careful of the /S switch ... if you are in the wrong
folder. When I tried it from my C:\ root, it found some files that I would
not want deleted (without knowing what they were)!
