File deletion incompetance

Hi I have started to use the following code to auto delete video and picture files from our CCTV. But when it script starts to delete the files I still need to click ok to confirm the deletion can anyone help with bypassing this prompt.


OPTION EXPLICIT
DIM strExtensionsToDelete,strFolder
DIM objFSO, MaxAge, IncludeSubFolders

' ************************************************** **********
' Setup
' ************************************************** **********

' Folder to delete files
strFolder = "C:\Video Records\"
' Delete files from sub-folders?
includeSubfolders = true
' A comma separated list of file extensions
' Files with extensions provided in the list below will be deleted
strExtensionsToDelete = "mpg,mpeg,jpg,jpeg"
' Max File Age (in Days). Files older than this will be deleted.
maxAge = 31

' ************************************************** **********

set objFSO = createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

DeleteFiles strFolder,strExtensionsToDelete, maxAge, includeSubFolders

wscript.echo "Finished"

sub DeleteFiles(byval strDirectory,byval strExtensionsToDelete,byval maxAge,includeSubFolders)
DIM objFolder, objSubFolder, objFile
DIM strExt

set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strDirectory)
for each objFile in objFolder.Files
for each strExt in SPLIT(UCASE(strExtensionsToDelete),",")
if RIGHT(UCASE(objFile.Path),LEN(strExt)+1) = "." & strExt then
IF objFile.DateLastModified < (Now - MaxAge) THEN
wscript.echo "Deleting:" & objFile.Path & " | " & objFile.DateLastModified
objFile.Delete
exit for
END IF
end if
next
next
if includeSubFolders = true then ' Recursive delete
for each objSubFolder in objFolder.SubFolders
DeleteFiles objSubFolder.Path,strExtensionsToDelete,maxAge, includeSubFolders
next
end if
end sub

Instead of using the File object's Delete method, use the FileSystemObject's DeleteFile method.

Change this:
Code:
objFile.Delete


To this:
Code:
objFSO.DeleteFile(objFile.Path)
