Delete Folders in Batch

This batch file deletes all files and folders from a specified directory. It first echoes a message stating it will delete all files from the given path, and uses the DEL command to delete all files in that directory with the force and quiet switches. It then echoes a message saying it will delete all subfolders, and uses a FOR loop with the RD command to recursively and quietly delete all subfolders within the given directory path. It finishes with an exit message.
