Script for deleting the files and the directories of an NTFS partition except one
HI
Putting in X virtual disk of Windows PE 2.1 this script, it should delete all files and all directories of an NTFS partition in which there is the \Users directory except this directory and its subdirectories.
Right or should I make some correction?
THANKS
BYE

if exist %%I:\Users set DVDDrive=%%I else (
echo not exist the %%I:\Users directory.
pause
goto :EOF)
)
pushd X:\Windows\System32
for /R %%f in (%DVDDrive%\) do (
if not "%%f" == "%DVDDrive%\Users" (attrib -rhsi *.* /s
del /s /q *.*)
)
popd

I don't think you can delete non-empty sub-directories with DEL, can you? You need KILLDIR or something like that. Does that exist on PE? If not, I'm sure you could locate a free utility to do the same job.
Batch is completely the wrong "language" for this job, IMO, but I'm not familiar with the PE envirnoment so I'm not sure what your alternatives might be.
EDIT:
Looks like VBS can be made available http://www.msfn.org/board/lofiversion/index.php/t16552.html

You can delete subdirectories with Del.exe, you use Dell C:\AdminStudio Shared\*.* /S.
del /? gives you the other options available.

DEL.EXE? Surely DEL is an internal command to the command processor, isn't it?
I just tested deleting the folder C:\Bin\Binn where the structure is C:\Bin\Binn\Binn\Binn and where the final folder contains 3 files. The command "ECHO Y|DEL C:\Bin\Binn /S" deleted the files but no folders. I used to do this stuff ad infinitum but the grey cells are now lost. I prefer script anyway. :)

cmd.exe /c RD "%ProgramFiles%\DUMMYFOLDER" /S /Q
This deletes the complete folder with subfolders and all files in there in silent mode...
Very effective...
Cheers
