Delete files or folder recursively on Windows CMD


The other answers didn't work for me, but this did:

del /s /q *.svnrmdir /s /q *.svn

/q disables Yes/No prompting

/s means delete the file(s) from all subdirectories.


Please execute the following steps:

  1. Open the command prompt
  2. Change directory to the required path
  3. Give the following command

    del /S *.svn


You can use this in the bat script:

rd /s /q "c:\folder a"

Now, just change c:\folder a to your folder's location. Quotation is only needed when your folder name contains spaces.
