To further simplify matters we can easily schedule a single commandline without the need for an external script file. This makes maintennce much easier. Simplicity is usually the better choice. Sometimes using a script is like suing a sledgehammer to hang a picture because someone told you a sledgehammer was the best hammer.

Jv Indeed one could. However, since 'rd' is an internal command processor command, it is probably necessary to invoke the command processor first for a scheduled task (which, unfortunately, makes things a little less simple): cmd /c rd /s /q 'd: My Folder'.
