I have written a batch program that will remove all files *AND*
subdirectories from a temporary directory, to do this I have used this
command:
RMDIR C:\Docume~1\myuser~1\locals~1\Temp\*.* /s/q

This command effectively deletes all the files, but not the
directories included in the "...\Temp" directory; which is part of the
directive of the command, as far as I understand.

I also have MINGW install in my winxp, and  the command:

rm -rf C:\Docume~1\myuser~1\locals~1\Temp\*.*

gives the same result.

What am I doing wrong? is this the prescribed behaviour of WINXP?

TIA
