Delete non empty folder with vbs

[TechSupp]

I need to delete a folder from users PC's that a program creates but the folder has sub folders that are not empty. Anyone got a good way using vbs to do this. Had a Google around and not found one I can get to work yet. This is the root folder "C:\Program Files\DEECD\data" and it had a sub folder with sub folders and a couple of files.

This method from @Iain no good? http://www.edugeek.net/forums/scripts/14570-help-needed-vb-script-delete-folder-all-files.html#post146944

 

Otherwise, get in touch with Marco Marsala - I've heard he has a way with deleting stuff.

Got a batch file which should do this for you:

 

Just paste this into notepad and save as .bat extension with the all files drop down,

 

RD /S /Q "Your folder Path"

 

Use this as a script as part of the top level GPO shutdown script to delete off all computers,

 

Tested today actually

 

P.S. This will also delete the Parent directory of the named folder path

 

So you would have RD /S /Q "C:\Program Files\DEECD"

This will delete the said folder DEECD and all the contents.
