To remove a directory and all its contents, including any subdirectories and files, use the rm command with the recursive option, -r . Directories that are removed with the rmdir command cannot be recovered, nor can directories and their contents removed with the rm -r command.
The del command displays the following prompt: Are you sure (Y/N)? To delete all of the files in the current directory, press Y and then press ENTER. To cancel the deletion, press N and then press ENTER.
Run the command RMDIR /Q/S foldername to delete the folder and all of its subfolders.
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.
