Delete Empty Folders after removing files
Testing the Script in a live environment. Thank you for all your help! -
Delete Empty Folders after removing files
I had assistance from PHV, in completing most of the script below. It was not part of the original request to delete said folders after removing files. I have tried numerous configurations like what is highlighted below, does anyone know the correct placement and/or code to complete said task... -
VBScript to delete files with limits

VBScript to delete files with limits
