You can do it with a batch file but your question may be more difficult as you say "any' external media.
If you insert more than one external device you must be concerned with drive letters.

For example del e:\*.rar /s will delete all rar files on the e: drive including all sub directories but if you have a external HDD that is e: and put in a flash card the card will become f: and you may end with undesired results.

Being that external devices insertion can be dynamic I dont think a script can be used.
I believe that it will have to be done manually and with a varible so as to ask which drive do you want to do this to.

tbh this isnt really the best place to ask for VBscript help, there might be one or two experts here if your lucky, but i would do a search on google and find a vbscript specific forum.

heres some useful sites...
