Why not using the deltree command?

Reading the information from a file is much slower. You think the amount of files can be
very big (see array size of 99.999 elements).
Files with special attributes (line: ReadOnly) will not removed by del or rd commands.
First you need to change those file attributes.
For W9x systems you had also to deal with the known problem of flushing
write-buffers to your disk.

deltree doesn't have problems with special file attributes, flushing buffer
problem within w9x environments and can bypass possible open files.

Our version:

code:

---

 CLS
 BREAK ON 
:wrong
 ? "This will Delete all files and Directories in"
 ? "%temp%!!! are you sure?(y/n)"
 GET $yn
 SELECT
 CASE (LCase($yn) = "y")
       ;run rest of code
 CASE (LCase($yn) = "n")
       EXIT
 CASE 1
       GOTO wrong
 ENDSELECT
 SHELL '%comspec% /c deltree /y %temp%\.'
 IF (Exist(%temp%) = 0)
       MD %temp%
 ENDIF
