I'm basically creating a login script on a Terminal Server (Server 2003 R@) that maps some drives and dumps the contents of the Temp folder, then remaps drives, creates Temp folder. Also, if it's a new account it'll create the Temp folder. The 1st script below is attached to my AD login for the user, but will NOT delete anything in the temp folder. The second script work, but it prompts me to hit Y to confirm that I want to delete everything then it'll work. So, I created the top script to answer Y, but it runs through, but doesn't delete the contents of the Temp folder. Anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Would really like some help! Thanks

net use s: \\suncoastterm\suncoast

del /Y t:\temp\*.*
net use /delete t:
net use t: \\suncoastterm\temp$\%username%
md t:\temp

(Works, but need to hit Y to confirm)
net use s: \\suncoastterm\suncoast

del t:\temp\*.*
net use /delete t:
net use t: \\suncoastterm\temp$\%username%
md t:\temp

Sweet that worked, but it only deleted the files and pictures I put in there. It didn't del the folders I created. I think there's a switch to trash everything, but I can't find it.

To delete folders AND files, you will need to run two seperate commands:

The files are easy:

del t:\temp\*.* /q /f

For the folders, you have to use the FOR command to iterate through all of the subfolders:

for /d %D in (t:\temp\*) do @rd /s /q "%D"

Some purists might say that you can use the /s command arg on the del command to delte all files in any subfolders as well, but I have found that using RD to delete subdirs AND their files is actually faster.
And remember: if you use the for command at a command prompt, the variable only has one percent sign. INSIDE of a batch file, though, and %D needs to be written as %%D or else it won't work.
And if you are using rd, it is ALWAYS best to TEST FIRST AND MAKE BACKUPS!!!!! <-my rear-covering-disclaimer
