Hi I have a script which deletes the files and folders within subfolders of a folder. I need to delete all folders below objFolders (C:\scripts). Here it is:

strFolder = "C:\scripts"
intDays = 0

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolders = objFSO.GetFolder(strFolder)

Recurse objFolders

Sub recurse(ByRef objFolders)
Set objSubFolders = objFolders.SubFolders
Set objFiles = objFolders.Files

For Each File In objFiles
If File.DateLastModified < objPastDate Then
On Error Resume Next
File.Delete
End If
Next

For Each Folder In objSubFolders
recurse Folder
Next

Set objSubFolders = Nothing
Set objFiles = Nothing
end sub

Thanks
 
You forgot to delete the folder after the recursive delete.
Code:
    For Each Folder In objSubFolders
        recurse Folder
        [red]Folder.Delete[/red]
    Next
