Yes, the help file is what you need. Look up FileChangeDir, FileDelete and MsgBox and the related topics for each for that batch file.

While you are there though look at the contents and get an idea of what is included. The help file should be your first port of call when you have a problem and the forum your second when you have a script which doesn't work and you can't understand why. Searching will find the answer to most problems.

for some reason i cant edit my posts now, sorry for double posting.

this is what im trying to get at.

$steam = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam"
$appcache = "\appcache"
$logs = "\logs"

MsgBox(4, "Steam", "Delete everything?")

If 6 Then
RegDelete("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Steam\Users")
DirRemove($steam & "" & $appcache, 1)
DirRemove($steam & "" & $logs, 1)
FileDelete($steam & "" & "\AppUpdateStats.blob")
FileDelete($steam & "" & "\Steam.log")
Elseif 7 then 
    MsgBox(4096,"", "You decided to not delete")
EndIf

its not working right.

Hi mankeluvsit.

If you can go from from nothing to what you have in 30 minutes, I'm sure you can handle a Msgbox().

Dont stop now mate, you're on a roll here.

Look at the Msgbox() function, and its flags inparticular.

$logs = "\logs"

MsgBox(4, "Steam", "Delete everything?")

If 6 Then
RegDelete("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Steam\Users")
DirRemove($steam & $appcache, 1)
DirRemove($steam & $logs, 1)

FileDelete($steam & "\Steam.log")
Elseif 7 then 
    MsgBox(4096,"", "You decided to not delete")
Else
    Exit
EndIf

I'm no guru mate, but I think you may not need the extra quotes in the dirremove.

So are you getting errors ?

[mankeluvsit]

no errors, but the problem is that wether i click yes or no on the message box, it deletes them anyways.

6 = yes and 7 = no.

but im guessing im not doing something right for it to realize what button is being pressed.

Read your If and ElseIf again. What are you comparing the 6 and 7 with?

MsgBox(4, "Steam", "Delete everything?")

4 = Yes and No

6 = yes and 7 = no.

im trying to make it realize what button is being pushed

[JohnOne]

$rtn = MsgBox(4, "Steam", "Delete everything?")

If $rtn = 6 Then

;code

Endif

[mankeluvsit]

$rtn = MsgBox(4, "Steam", "Delete everything?")

If $rtn = 6 Then

;code

Endif
