Batch file. Delete all files and folders in a directory

Question

Use:

• Create a batch file

• Copy the below text into the batch file

  set folder="C:\test"
  cd /d %folder%
  for /F "delims=" %%i in ('dir /b') do (rmdir "%%i" /s/q || del "%%i" /s/q)
  

It will delete all files and folders.

del *.* instead of del *.db. That will remove everything.

IF EXIST "C:\Users\tbrollo\j2mewtk\2.5.2\appdb\RMS" (
    rmdir "C:\Users\tbrollo\j2mewtk\2.5.2\appdb\RMS" /s /q
)

This will delete everything from the folder (and the folder itself).

I just put this together from what morty346 posted:

set folder="C:\test"
IF EXIST "%folder%" (
    cd /d %folder%
    for /F "delims=" %%i in ('dir /b') do (rmdir "%%i" /s/q || del "%%i" /s/q)
)

It adds a quick check that the folder defined in the variable exists first, changes directory to the folder, and deletes the contents.
