Batch File to Delete Spool Files
Is there a batch file available that will delete files in the spool\printers
folder? Batch files I've tried can't handle read-only files like the *.spl files. Thanks, Diane

If your only problem was deleting read-only files, then use the command
deltree rather than delete. Use it with caution - especially when using wildcard characters. Use the command as you would the delete command. Deltree is like delete on steroids.
