To delete all files and subfolders in directory, You can use powershell:

powershell -Command "Remove-Item 'path\to\directory' -Recurse -Force"

• path\to\directory is the place from where You would like to delete those files.

Or:

del /q "path\to\directory\*"
FOR /D %%p IN ("path\to\directory\*.*") DO rmdir "%%p" /s /q
