I have the need of deleting all bin & obj folders in a folder on my PC. So, I'm thinking of a batch file to do that but I'm not famaliar with batching file in Windows. Please help.

[Edit]

After discussion with user DMA57361, I got to the current solution (still having problem though, see our comments):

Create a .bat file, and paste the below command:

start for /d /r . %%d in (bin,obj) do @if exist "%%d" rd /s/q "%%d"

OR

start for /d /r . %%d in (bin,obj) do @if exist "%%d" rd /s "%%d"

@DMA57361: When I run your script, I get the below error. Any idea?
