srk999 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I need to delete the parent folder that the vbs script is in. For example, if the vbs script is in the folder "New", I need to delete the folder with everything in it using the script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarle Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 No guarantee that this would work because the script will be in use, but if it does work, this would do it:Dim FSODim FolderPathSet FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")FolderPath = FSO.GetParentFolderName(WScript.ScriptFullName)FSO.DeleteFolder FolderPath, TrueSet FSO = Nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yzöwl Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 As stated above the following will work:Set oFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")MyParent = oFS.GetParentFolderName(WScript.ScriptFullName)oFS.DeleteFolder MyParent, TrueJust make the bottom line the last one in your VBScript.The following batch file will work fine too:ntscript.cmd@Set "C_=X:\MyDir\New\some.vbs"@For %%# In (%C_%) Do @Set "P_=%%~dp#"&@%C_%&&@Rd/s/q "%P_%"If you wish you could run your vbs using '@cscript //nologo %C_%' too!
