I ran your script with 'test 1' as the folder name and it worked for me.

martin Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 What version of Windows do you have? I ran your script with 'test 1' as the folder name and it worked for me. It didn't work for me so I would agree that it's a bug. I'm using AutoIt production 3.3.6.1 and I tried on XP only. I would be surprised if the Windows version made a difference. However, if you try it in the Beta version it works so it's a bug which has already been fixed. This worked for me in the production version. FileChangeDir("C:\test 1\") $Del = FileDelete("*.txt") if $del = 1 then MsgBox(0, "", "done") Else MsgBox(0, "", "fail") EndIf Serial port communications UDF Includes functions for binary transmission and reception.printing UDF Useful for graphs, forms, labels, reports etc.Add User Call Tips to SciTE for functions in UDFs not included with AutoIt and for your own scripts.Functions with parameters in OnEvent mode and for Hot Keys One function replaces GuiSetOnEvent, GuiCtrlSetOnEvent and HotKeySet.UDF IsConnected2 for notification of status of connected state of many urls or IPs, without slowing the script.
Merrik Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 You could try this: $Del = RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "Del C:\test 1\*.txt") if $del = 1 then MsgBox(0, "", "done") Else MsgBox(0, "", "fail") EndIf
Ahmed97 Posted June 23, 2011 Author Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) You could try this: [ autoIt ] ( Popup ) $Del = RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "Del C:\test 1\*.txt") if $del = 1 then MsgBox(0, "", "done") Else MsgBox(0, "", "fail") EndIf failed :S it says done but files still there xD Edited June 23, 2011 by TheMaster

DaveYuhas Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 it's working thankss !! FileDelete() would not delete any of the files in the C:UsersDaveAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsTemporary Internet Files dir (even after setting attrib to normal), but deleted files in other dirs. So perhaps the question should be: why is FileDelete() protecting some files but not others? Windows 7, btw.
