Make a new text file and rename it to _____.bat (fill in the blank with a name of your choice). I'm assuming you know how to change file name extensions.
Right click on the .bat file. Choose 'edit'.
type this:
del " __A___ \*._B_"
fill in blank A with the directory name
fill in blank B with the extension of the file type you want to delete or '*' for all files.
EXAMPLE
del "C:\New Folder\*.*" - this will delete everything in the folder
OR
del "C:\Another Folder\*.jpg" - this will only delete files with the jpg extension
Now you can save the batch file and run it.

It depends on what kind of files are in the CD's folder.

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.
