I have a folder, which has files and folders inside it like 

 C:/MyFolder
 C:/MyFolder/File1.txt
 C:/MyFolder/File2.txt
 C:/MyFolder/File3.sql
 C:/MyFolder/Folder1
 C:/MyFolder/Folder1/File5.txt

What batch command do I need to use to delete all the folders and contents inside them without deleting files inside my folder. Example : Delete Folder1,Folder1/File5.txt but retain File1.txt,File2.txt and File3.sql?

For DOS/Command prompt use

for /d %F in ("path*") do rmdir /s /q "%F"

Use double % if you use it in a batch file.

for /d %%F in ("H:\EDGE-backup*") do rmdir /s /q "%%F"

I used this to backup the EDGE bookmarks and such, and since XCOPY always brings with it it's root directory subfolders i had to delete these after the copy.

The above worked for this. Result,only files remained in H:\EDGE-backup.
