This seems like an easy task, but I am having apins and need some help.

Goal: Delete certain folders that would exist on WinXP and Win7 Machines

name of operating system contains “Win”

Now lets check relevance of those pesky folders we don’t want

Exists Folder “C:\randomfolder”

del C:\randomfolder

if the value is true then we want to delete this folder, all subfolders and files and we don’t want it to stop until “C:\randomfolder” doesn’t exist

This folder is strictly a folder we would have created not a system folder.

When I plug all this into a fixlet or task…it lets me run it but returns FAILED.

please inspire me with your wisdom o gracious ones

Well just ignore everything…my co-worker just thought of an idea and we tried it and it looks promissing.

using rmdir option instead of del
