Recursive Delete of Files
How do you delete files recursively with a wildcard?

i.e.:

rm -r *.dll

TIA,
Eric

delete /R "folder\*.dll"

This is not in the documentation, and is a compile time error when I try it. The only argument to delete is Reboot. Anyone else?

Hi
I used normal 'Delete', 'RemDir' functions but they don't delete my files which include dlls as well then I tried to unregister the dlls by using 'UnRegDLL' and then delete dlls. This again didn't work. Then I used your function to delete dlls but it generates error message. Can you tell me what can be the reason for this.

the error message generated is: MessageBox MB_OK "error".
