How can I use DOS commands or a batch file to delete a large number of empty folders named a1.tmp, a2.tmp, a3.tmp ... all at once? They were created by a piece of software, and there are a lot of them. Please!

deltree -y a?.tmp

? can stand for any single character, to avoid accidentally deleting other folders. -y makes DELTREE delete the folder directly without asking.

Of course, deltree -y *.tmp should probably work too

Many thanks.
But deltree is an external command, and it can't be used under win2k! I want to write a batch file (so it doesn't matter if there are more commands) and run it under win2k.

Actually, you can just take the DELTREE command from DOS and use it under Win2K.

You can use rmdir or rd in place of deltree

Sorry, I'm a newbie, so I don't understand. Could you be a bit more specific?

But rmdir or rd can't delete a whole bunch of them at once, especially a bunch of empty folders when you don't even know all their names.

Deletes a directory.

RMDIR path
RD path

/S In addition to the directory itself, also deletes all subdirectories and
files under the specified directory. Used to delete a directory tree.

/Q Quiet mode. When used with /S, deleting the directory tree
no longer asks for confirmation

But RD/RMDIR does not support wildcards, so it can't do it. Commands like DD, XRD, etc. can do it.

How can I copy a folder? Under a pure DOS system, I mean a folder, not a file. Thanks.

Use the XCOPY command to copy folders.
