Is there a way to kill all files in a folder?

[wbntravis]

i do not want to kill the subdirectory or folder. ( It is an IE cache file
and I just want to go in and clean up what is in the cache.)
The folder, I want to leave alone....


Thanks in advance.

Use this but be careful to get the path correct or you could have a very bad
day.

Sub Button1_Click()
Kill "c:\yourdirectory\*.*"
End Sub

Just to add a little info to Mikes caution: files deleted with Kill are not
placed in the recycle bin. They are just deleted.

Although Mike has shown you how to delete files in a folder I'd be a bit
careful about messing with IE's cache files. There are dependencies between
the sub folders and hidden dat files. Unless you fully understand how IE
manages those files (I don't) it's generally recommended only to delete
their contents from a batch file at startup.

A bit more in this old thread. For some reason the OP's posts don't appear
visible in Google, (at least not for me) though they can be seen with 'Show
quoted text'

Thanks all of you!
I did the folder and dos wildcard thing and it did not work for me
BEFORE I asked the question. Because it did not work... I asked
the question.

You all gave me great food for thought though-
which I will continue to study thanks.
