  Are you using this in Windows? This command is for linux only.

  In windows try something like ‘del *.exe’

  Hi,
  Use this for windows: del *.exe /P /F /S

  This command will delete all exes in sub directories and force deletion of read-only exes

  If files are locked by other processed then I am using http://www.unlockertool.com to delete locked files.
  It just closes the process that is using the file and that’s all
