Delete ONLY subfolder and files

[lrstndm]

Hi,

I have an autoit script which have to delete all subfolders and all the files in the given directory.

but the selected/main folder needs to exists after deleting the subfolders and files.

for example:

i have the directory C:\test selected

the folder test needs to exists after deleting all the files and folders in the directory

is it possible to do this or is there an CMD command to do this?

Thanks in advance

Greetz,

Hi, Irstndm. I have a script which performs system maintenance, including deleting C:Temp of all files and folders. Below is a snippet from that script; it should work for what you're trying to do.

$_dir1 = _FileListToArray(@TempDir, "*", 2)
$_dir2 = _FileListToArray(@TempDir, "*", 1)
 
If IsArray($_dir1) Then
  For $n = 1 To $_dir1[0]
   $sPath = @TempDir & "" & $_dir1[$n]
   If FileExists($sPath & "") Then
    DirRemove($sPath, 1)
   EndIf
  Next
EndIf

If IsArray($_dir2) Then
  For $n = 1 To $_dir2[0]
   $sPath = "C:Temp" & $_dir2[$n]
   If FileExists($sPath) Then
    FileDelete($sPath)
   EndIf
  Next
EndIf

#include <File.au3>
$_dir1 = _FileListToArray(@TempDir, "*", 2)
$_dir2 = _FileListToArray(@TempDir, "*", 1)
If IsArray($_dir1) Then
  For $n = 1 To $_dir1[0]
   $sPath = @TempDir & "" & $_dir1[$n]
   If FileExists($sPath & "") Then
    DirRemove($sPath, 1)
   EndIf
  Next
EndIf
If IsArray($_dir2) Then
  For $n = 1 To $_dir2[0]
   $sPath = @TempDir & '' & $_dir2[$n]
   If FileExists($sPath) Then
    FileDelete($sPath)
   EndIf
  Next
