How you can make a batch file which delete a directory on booting?
REM deletes a file C: del filename exit Create a file, above, using wordpad and save it with the extension .BAT Modify the line C: del filename, to indicate where the file is and instead of 'filename' write the name of the file you want to delete. (REM is just a remark to remind you what it does..) Say you call the batch file 'deleter.bat', then you have to include this file name in the startup program file. This will depend on what operating system you are using. Old DOS, would use an autoexec.bat file. You could then actually add the delete command in with the autoexec.bat file.

How do I write a batch file to search recursive folders for a list of partial file names with wildcards and then delete the files?
No need for a batch file, the following commands will do it: CD folder FOR /F %i IN (files.txt) DO DEL %i /P /F /S The CD command sets the current folder. All deletions will occur in the specified folder and its sub-folders. The files.txt file must be a list of file names (wildcards permitted) with one file name per line. If this file does not reside in the current folder you must specify the fully-qualified path or the relative path (relative to the current folder). The FOR loop essentially executes the DEL command for each file in files.txt. The DEL command line switches are: /P (prompt for confirmation before deleting each file) /F (force delete read-only files) /S (recurse through sub-folders of the current folder). To suppress prompting, remove /P but add /Q (quiet mode) to suppress prompting on global wildcards. For more help on this, enter DEL /? at the command prompt. For more help on the FOr command, type FOR /? at the command prompt. If used in a command script (.cmd) or batch file (.bat), replace %i with %%i. The only real advantage of using a batch file (other than to save a bit of typing) is that you can also pass the root folder and the file containing your file list as parameters (identified by %1, %2, etc).
