Command line to delete $NtUninstallKB...$

Command line to delete $NtUninstallKB...$ I made a batch file to delete
temporary internet files, user's temp files, & Windows\temp files. I
want to add deleting the Windows Update uninstall directories to the
BAT file. I have tried DEL, RD, ERASE, I used CACLS to give everyone
full access, Attrib -R -A -S -H to unhide the directories. It will not
let me use wildcards to delete the directories. I tried $nt*$, $*$,
$NTUninstall*. It forces me to use the full directory name. I used
"RD /S /Q c:\Windows\$NtServicePackUninstall$" and it works but I have
PCs with Windows 2000 SP1-SP4, Windows XP SP1-SP2 it would take a lot
to keep this cleanup BAT file up to date with the new updates. Any
help would be much appreciated.

Hi,

You can use this in your batch file:

set unf=%SystemRoot%\$NtUninstall*
for /f "Tokens=*" %%i in ('dir /B /AD %unf%') do rd /s /q "%SystemRoot%\%%i"

Thank you
Here is the whole script:

REM Deletes Temporary Internet Files

cd /d c:\Documents and Settings
for /d %%X in (*) do rd /s /q "C:\Documents and Settings\%%X\Local
Settings\Temporary Internet Files"

REM Deletes All User's temp files

for /d %%X in (*) do rd /s /q "C:\Documents and Settings\%%X\Local
Settings\Temp"

REM Deletes Windows and WINNT Temp
rd /s /q %SystemRoot%\temp\*.*

REM Deletes Microsoft Update files

set unf=%SystemRoot%\$NtUninstall*
for /f "Tokens=*" %%i in ('dir /B /AD %unf%') do rd /s /q
"%SystemRoot%\%%i"

set unf=%SystemRoot%\$MSI31Uninstall*
for /f "Tokens=*" %%i in ('dir /B /AD %unf%') do rd /s /q
"%SystemRoot%\%%i"

set unf=%SystemRoot%\$NtServicePack*
for /f "Tokens=*" %%i in ('dir /B /AD %unf%') do rd /s /q
"%SystemRoot%\%%i"

This looks like a nice easy way to dump the old stuff. But where do I
put it? How do I active it? (I have never created or manually used a
batch file).

Please help me!
