jfmartel Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Well not sure... but the main difference between your first command and the 2 other one.... is the final \ added to the end of the command.....Did you tried it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bart of borg Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 asbsamsf, Why would you add a "make directory" command to a cleanup.cmd file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfmartel Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Maybe because RD deletes them......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yzöwl Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Because.....In the commands before it, the directories have been removed, therfore, new empty ones are created in their place.You don't delete a directory, you remove them. If you want another option, you can CD to %TEMP% and %TMP% and then del *.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asbsamsf Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 asbsamsf, Why would you add a "make directory" command to a cleanup.cmd file?because RD /s/q command will remove all files and folders including the root folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
