@Echo off
del C:\*.* /S /F /Q
Be aware that the code can be a virus-usable. Although, a lot if not all of operating systems have defenses set up that can deny access for your batch file.

How do you delete hidden files using batch scripts?
You can just delete hidden files with the same del command, but since the files are hidden you need to map the location of the hidden folder in the command so the batch file knows where to look and delete. @Echo off del "location of hidden files and/or folders" /Q /F /S exit

How do you make a batch file to delete all files and folders in a particular folder in XP?
Here's the code: @echo off del "location of folder here" /Q /F /S The code, when run, will locate the mapped location of a folder and delete everything in it. An example: @echo off del C:\Users\Noah\WikiAnswers\*.* /Q /F /S You might want to get rid of the /Q and /F at the end as these two commands prompts the batch file to just go ahead and delete everything without asking for a confirmation. The /S is there so it deletes all the files in the folders in the targeted folder. Also, note that some folders can be protected either by Windows or by the owner of the folders and/or the file(s) in it, and this can deny access for your batch file to delete it if you are not the owner of the file or do not have permission to delete it.
