Cclenear comand line option to accept /DELETE

[pattone]

Hi guys... I'm trying to run ccleaner in command line from a bat file and when I run it with the /DELETE /METHOD it ask me for  confirmation like the picture attached... is there a way to accept that "DELETE" to run that command using Task Scheduler?
The command that I'm running is: 

Quote

ccleaner.exe /DELETE "C:\Users\Usuario\Downloads\*.*" /METHOD 1

I don't call CCleaner from my own cleaning batch file.

If you are cleaning all the files in a directory from a batch file then why not just use the "del" command with the /q option.

eg. For your example above I'd use:

Del /q C:\Users\Usuario\Downloads\*.* >nul 2>nul

/q stops it asking to delete each file.

You could also use /s after the /q to clear any subdirectories.

The two nul statements at the end of the line supress standard output and non critical errors from the screen. Without those it would output a list of all files deleted, or an error if the directory is already empty. Try it without them to see what I mean.

I'm trying to use Ccleaner with the /METHOD 1 parameter for secure erase; "del" command doesn't execute a secure erase
