Delete all contents in a folder

sethradio · 27th October 2011, 00:04

I noticed that the RmDir command only works if the folder is empty. I need to set up an uninstaller that deletes all files in a certain folder because things that end up in this folder are user defined and I can't calculate everything that ends up in it.

Very easy to do when you read the manual. (Also look at Delete).

How do you use wildcards?

Like you use them in any other application. * is anything, ? is any single character.
