"delete -sf" Not deleting all subfolders/files

[theoooo]

In the delsub.ins file of an application, it calls to delete the installation dir:

Code: Alles auswählen

delete -sf "$InstallDir$\"

However, a folder with txt files remains (C:\Program Files (x86)\PlotSoft\PDFill\Saved\CustomShapes)

Is there a way to force the deletion of the files and folder? Or a work around to get the files and folder gone? Maybe move them to a directory and then delete?

Code: Alles auswählen

$InstallDir$ = "%ProgramFiles32Dir%\PlotSoft\PDFill"

Thank you!

We recommend using

Code: Alles auswählen

del 

instead of

Code: Alles auswählen

delete

.

Regarding you problem :

May be deleting the directory fails, cause some processes of the application have to be stopped before deleting the files via opsi-script.
