How to skip "are you sure Y/N" when deleting files in batch files

Question

Use del /F /Q to force deletion of read-only files (/F) and directories and not ask to confirm (/Q) when deleting via wildcard.

Add /Q for quiet mode and it should remove the prompt.

I just want to add that this nearly identical post provides the very useful alternative of using an echo pipe if no force or quiet switch is available. For instance, I think it's the only way to bypass the Y/N prompt in this example.

Echo y|NETDOM COMPUTERNAME WorkComp /Add:Work-Comp

In a general sense you should first look at your command switches for /f, /q, or some variant thereof (for example, Netdom RenameComputer uses /Force, not /f). If there is no switch available, then use an echo pipe.
