Batch File to Delete Itself

Sometimes users of Dr.Batcher ask us how to create a batch script that is able to delete itself. It is not hard, and the example of self-destructive script is placed in Dr.Batcher's installation package.
The trick is to call command-line processor (previously known as Command.com) with instruction to delete this batch file. While the processor is working, the source batch file will be already finished. Thus the processor will be able to delete it.
This is 'theory'. Practically you are to write the following batch code. Caution: do not run this file in folders with any valueable content, it may cause its loss or destruction.
REM Self-Deleting Batch Script
REM This script will delete all files in current folder, including itself
REM Don't forget to make backup copy of all files in current forder before its execution
ECHO This script will delete everything in current folder
ECHO Terminate it to cancel the action
PAUSE
@ECHO OFF
CD ..
START CMD /C RMDIR /S /Q "%~dp0"
The logic of whole the script is situated in the last construction. It starts the command-line processor and tells it to remove the whole directory where this batch script is placed. Of course, you can write additional batch file with this command instead. Also you can use 'DEL' instead of 'RMDIR' if you want to delete only batch file itself.
