script that would delete all mp3 files in the folders

[savvyuser]

Guys,

Does anyone knows here how to build a script that would delete all mp3 files in the folders. Folders here are not given but files are stored in C & D drive. However, user doesn't know where it stored. Then, it counts how many mp3 files are deleted.

Thanks....

A simple bat file for cmd.exe:
del /s *.mp3

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thanks for suggesting. However, that doesn't resolve the purpose, because the folder is not given. No destination directory. Is there a script that would scan all folders in the drive no matter how many folders that you have in your drive as long the script finds .mp3 it will be deleted.

Thanks....

You don't need to know the folder(s) name:
del /s c:\*.mp3
will scan all the directory tree of the C: drive much faster than any script you can write...
