Did you even opened helpfile?

FileDelete ( "C:/YourFolderPath/*.*" )

[ProgAndy]

Or use

DirRemove( "C:/YourFolderPath/" )
DirCreate( "C:/YourFolderPath/" )

already explained by i542, Read the help file for FileDelete() DirRemove()

and as he told you before you can delete the files as follow

Example:

FileDelete ("C:/YourFolderPath/FileName.Extention" )
FileDelete ("C:/YourFolderPath/FileX.txt" ) ;~ Drive letter+Folder Name+File Name+ File ExtentionoÝ÷ Ù©Ýü¨»§¶ÚzW­y©e~)^²)Ú²øuú%uêí©ÚºÚ"µÍ[Q[]H

I hope \Prefetch only was a example because those files are not supposed to be deleted. Their purpose is to speed up application loading times and cleaning that folder will only increase the time to boot windows and start apps.

I just wanted to make a quick note, there are many cases where people just want to delete the files within a folder and not the folder itself because of file permissions on the folder itself and what it has set for inheritance on the way down the chain.

I'm not sure why, but I just felt like that needed saying.
