Dreamweaver creates files called dwsync.xml inside every directory you syncronize after your first sync and I wanted to delete them all.

My batch file wasn’t too crazy, but the spaces in the file path caused some uglyness.

Anyway, the command to do this, once you’re in the highest directory you want to delete from is:

del /AH /S dwsync.xml

The hardest thing about figuring this out, is that in Windows, even a command prompt (even an Administrator command prompt) hides hidden files — so you need the /AH switch.

You could also add a prompt for each file, which is what I did for the first few to make sure everything was working as expected with the /P switch.

I found a good batch script (source) that does exactly what I needed:

FOR /F "tokens=*" %%G IN ('DIR /B /AD /S *.svn*') DO RMDIR /S /Q "%%G"

I just threw that line in a text file, and saved it as rmsvn.bat in the highest directory that I wanted to strip .svn files from.

Opening up a command prompt, changing to the directory I saved the batch file in (with cd) and then running the file (with rmsvn.bat) worked perfectly.
