Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted January 18, 2012 Moderators Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) Hi, Irstndm. I have a script which performs system maintenance, including deleting C:Temp of all files and folders. Below is a snippet from that script; it should work for what you're trying to do. $_dir1 = _FileListToArray(@TempDir, "*", 2) $_dir2 = _FileListToArray(@TempDir, "*", 1) If IsArray($_dir1) Then For $n = 1 To $_dir1[0] $sPath = @TempDir & "" & $_dir1[$n] If FileExists($sPath & "") Then DirRemove($sPath, 1) EndIf Next EndIf If IsArray($_dir2) Then For $n = 1 To $_dir2[0] $sPath = "C:Temp" & $_dir2[$n] If FileExists($sPath) Then FileDelete($sPath) EndIf Next EndIf Edited January 18, 2012 by JLogan3o13 Graywalker 1 "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.
