I'm sure someone can whip this up real quick for meh :laughing:



I run a few cameras around my house and all images are dumped in

F:\Camera1

-----

At 5AM every day I want a batch to run automatically and delete this folder..


Cheers,

Make a simple batch to delete the folder, then just run it everyday in Scheduled Tasks (in Control Panel).

rmdir F:\Camera1

[bla!!]

close

rmdir f:\camera1 /s /q

the /s says to delete the directory and everything in it
the /q says don't prompt, just say yes to everything

OR..

del F:\Camera1

[bla!!]

I see that the guy above is now banned, but just so no one is confused, what he posted will not work. Del removes files only, not directories.

Well I would guess that tkey wants to delete the content of the folder (I can't think why he would want to delete the folder if its in daily use), in which case del would be the appropriate command.

del f:\camera1\*.* /q

[bla!!]

It all depends on what he would like to do.

Del only deletes files. If there were any folders under f:\camera1 they would still be there including files within them if you use just del.

Deleting the folder is what I wanted, a simple rmdir command did it, the prog auto creates the new folder automatically anyhow
