How can I setup a folder to periodically delete the contents?

Basically I want to create a temp folder for general user use.

Thanks

There are no folder properties for deletion.

Most would schedule a batch file to delete the contents.

Imagine the power of knowing how to internet search

What if there were a mission impossible folder? Would it self destruct in 4 seconds?


You could try as above.

We used to use ram drives all the time to avoid this. When the user turned off the machine the ram drive went away.

I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.
