How to silently delete files with a bat file

Question

del /s .jpg 

deletes all .jpgs .. but the problem is: it shows, in cmd when executed =>
C:\blabla..\this.jpg is deleted..

I want to turn this off. Such that user will not know what is happening (i.e, what files are being deleted).

Answer 1

Turn echo off to suppress showing the command being run, and redirect output to null as @Sico suggested.

@echo off del /s *.jpg  >nul 2>&1 

You should see nothing displayed when the bat file is run.
