I have a program that automatically creates excel files in a folder. The problem is that after several days this folder can get pretty big. Is there a way to automatically delete the .xls files in the folder on a nightly basis?

You can use scheduler to run a batch file every night with a "del path\*.xls". Hope this helps.
