batch file delete itself

Comment:

I have a batch file that is in an unknown folder and needs to be deleted when it stops running. Any idea? I only Batch if possible, 2000 more lines of code, oh well.

Reply:

its very simple just add these lines del filename.bat exit of course replace the filename with the actual one

Just did a search and tested it, del %0 seems to delete the batch file it's in. Just have it at the end of the script of course.
