In my scripts, I do this: cd x:\directory rmdir x:\directory /s /q
This way the dir can't be deleted, as your in it.

Wrote a short little batch file with the idea being that everything (files and folders) within in a certain directory is blown out everyday. Goes like this: del c:\directory\ *.* /Q /S this proceeds to delete every file in every subdirectory without user intervention, however it leaves the subfolders in place. What switch do I use to get rid of the folders as well?
