Hi,
I have a file system C:\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3\Folder4\Folder5
Folder4 can be a wildcard folder, and under every Folder4 contains a single folder which I want to delete.
Is there a slick way to do this?

yes.
Check FindFirst/FindNext.
Inside a loop that will give you the "Folder4" names, you will delete the Folder5 like this:
RMDir "C:\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3\$1\Folder5"

Doesn't find first find file names and not folder listing?
nevermind it does, thanks!
Note it will also return . and .. which you should exclude.

Just tested this using *.* it picks up both directories and files, I want just directories.

It will return both. To filter out directories check if the current file is a directory using IfFileExists path\$1\*.*

I want only directories:
${If} ${FileExists} "C:\d1\d2\d3\TEST\Data\*.*"
FindFirst $2 $3 "C:\d1\d2\d3\TEST\Data\*.*" #First thing find all directories
loop:
StrCmp $3 "" done
${IfNot} "." == $3
${AndIfNot} ".." == $3
#RM the directory
${EndIf}
FindNext $2 $3
Goto loop
done:
FindClose $2
${Endif}
Where does it need to go? I thought I was already handling this.
