I'm a newbie, and I'd like to ask all you veterans for some advice. I do maintenance work, and because of the viruses on the company computers, I want to delete all files under d:\downloads\ My batch file is written like this: del d:\Downloads\. /s /f /q Next I want to delete all the empty folders under downloads\ How should I write it? I'd like to ask you all. Thanks.

About deletion under CMD, what you really should pay attention to is, 1, there is no DELTREE command anymore, so you need to use DEL together with RD. 2, you need to check whether the directory exists before executing, to avoid deleting the wrong thing 3, you can't delete a non-current directory, for example RD D:\ABC\EFG, this works in pure DOS and 98, but not in 2000/XP, you have to CD D:\ABC first and then delete EFG under the current directory.

The third point is inaccurate. Under XP I haven't found any problem at all deleting a directory on a non-current drive.
