Question IIS - Other - Clear website folder weekly

Hi, I have serveral websites using classic ASP, MySQL on a Windows Server. Can anyone advise on a way to clear a website folder monthly? It's a long story, but basically temporary images are stored there and they are deleted in a process, however if the user quits half way thru they remain. I want an automated process to clean the folder each week/month. Any ideas?

Thanks,
GG

Do you want the entire contents wiped, or just specific file types?

You could use a simple batch file to do this, and set it up as a scheduled task.

Thanks Idoodle. I don't know anything about Windows Server and therefore I don't know what is possible, so that is a very helpful start.

I use a shared host but they are always very accommodating, so shouldn't be a problem. Can I setup a single batch file to clear the same folder name on multiple sites? Can you refer me to any tutorials/examples? I will have a go at setting up the batch and then get my hosting provider to assist with implementation.

Thanks again,
GG
