Delete the contents of a directory using Batch

[GUSSIE]

Hello,

I am looking for the the dos command that can run in BATCH files in order to remove the entire contents of a directory (files + subdirectories) But this should delete the content only without deleting the directory in question because it is shared(temp, cookies, history). The command rmdir or rd does not solve my problem , please help me thanks in advance

Personally, I use the batch file with the code below:

@ echo off 
echo Deleting Internet Explorer Cache 
del "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\*.*" /s /q 

echo Deleting History Internet Explorer 
del "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\History\*.* /s /q 

echo Deleting cookies in Internet Explorer 
del "%USERPROFILE%\ Cookies \ *.*" /s /q /f 

echo Deleting Data Application 
del "%USERPROFILE% Application Data \ *.*" /s /q /f 

echo Deleting files new opened 
del "%USERPROFILE%\ Recent \ *.*" /s /q /f 

echo Deleting files java 
del "%USERPROFILE%\.java \*.*" /s /q /f  

echo Deleting files java web start 
del "%USERPROFILE%\.javaws\*.*" /s /q /f 

echo Deleting files jpi_cache? 
del "%USERPROFILE%\.jpi_cache\*.*" /s /q /f 

echo Deleting the temporary directory 
del %TEMP% /s /q /f 

breaks

The following batch deletes both subdirectories and files in D:\ASUP:

Code:

Select all for /f  "tokens=*" %%i in ('dir D:\ASUP\*.* /AD /B') do (RD "D:\ASUP\%%i" /S /Q) 
echo o | del D:\ASUP\*.*

Be careful while using it

CD "path\to\cookies"
DEL *.*
CD\

First line will get you *inside* the folder Second line will delete everything in there Third line will then get you back to the root of your drive
