Anyone out there knows how to delete files from a folder when using Novell Scheduler on windows 98SE.??? I have created a batch file,use the Del command from dos, and always prompts me to confirm if i am really sure to delete the files. In windows 2000, no problem. I have tried using the deltree command but it hangs my pc.

This normally happens only when you use the del *.* command because you are deleting everything in the directory. Just use ';y' after the del *.* command.

Batch file should read:

CD {path to files}
del *.* ;y
REM No more prompt :-)

Have fun.
