Simple script to delete everything from a share

[jamin100]

I need a script that will delete every file & folders from a network share.

 

We have a networked photocopier that also doubles up as a scanner and scans documents to a network share. I want to run a script everyweekend that will delete the contents of that share so that its empty again Monday morning.

 

Its located in \\server\scans

 

Can be VBS or BAT - anything that i can run as a scheduled task on my server.

 

Thanks

Command is:

 

del /s /q /f \\path\to

 

 

\\path\to could be c:\path\to as well

 

so...

 

 

providing you have perms to do it, easy peasy hooray.

 

 

Apologies, did not realise folder deletion was required - assumed all within one dir - sorry!
