I need to delete a dir \\server\E:\Program Files\ XXXX\WebsiteOld\

Where XXXX is a website name. I know there is a way you have a batch read from a txt file but I forgot the commmand. Can someone help me out.

You're probably looking for the "FOR" command with "/F". Take a look at the help ("FOR /?") and see if that's what you need. Example:

for /f "tokens=1" %%a in (list.txt) do echo %%a

Also, remember that administrative shares end with $, therefore it would probably be "e$", not "e:".
