    Hi,

    im trying to find an automated way to delete the contents of a specified folder, sadly this folder is riddled with other sub folders so having to enter yes each time i want to delete the folder wrecks my head and thinking there must be a way to get the command to just delete the folder and everything within it with one press.
    This is for remote

    command i used in command line is below:

    del \\computer\c$\windows\temp\* /s

    my plan is to implement this into a little script that will auto delete that folder when i select the option in the script.
    im thinking there must be a IF command that will watch the command line for "Are you sure (Y/N)?" then enter "y" and enter to continue to next option until all options are finished, any one able to shed some light on this for me please?

    tried del /? that gives me the list of options but dont say how to either bypass the confirmation that comes up sadly.

    for some reason deltree dont appear to be recignised even tho its on a windows server 2008 im running the cmd line from.
