VBScript for delete files

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup_deployment (More info?)

Hi,

There's two options, you can either delete the folder at the top of the
tree (thereby deleting everything below it), or you can delete specific
files. The WSH object is called the FileSystemObject and can be used
with VBSciprt and JScript.

Hi Enric,

Well you wanted one thing, and now you want something different -
enumeration of folders and testing of files before deletion. In general
this is done using recursion with the SubFolders collection of the
Folder object of the FileSystemObject, or you can use WMI if you don't
care about UNC paths.

For full details and examples, you may want to post about this in the
WSH newsgroup on this server.

If you want advanced programming examples, you may want to post in the
WMI newsgroup on this server.
