Batch File Question - Newbie

Comment:

Hello all! Quick newbie question! I am stuck deleting files in certain temp directories daily, and would like to know how to create a batch file to do this. Basically I need to delete a few "folder\files in folder". I don't want to answer Y every time either. I've tried, tried, tried, and failed to make one from instructions off google. Please help! Thanks much!

What about the local settings temp? Would it be del/q %tmp%\*.*? Thanks!

That would work as well. There are two of them actually: %temp% and %tmp%. They both point to the same directory.
