HI - I like to keep a copy of my windows folder on disk under a
different name. It's a little recovery trick when things go bad. I
boot to dos, rename the backup to be the windows folder, and then I can
usually boot windows.
So I have a batch script that deletes the backup windows directory every
week and recreates it. In WIN98SE I used deltree /y *.* and it removed
everything.
in XP I use
del /s /q /f *.*
but it leaves a lot of files and folders behind. Is there any way to
TOTALLY delete a folder?
thanks!
