Assuming that there are no hidden/system/readonly files in the tree, Deltree
followed by mkdir ought to do the trick.

Hi Joseph - Thanks for your advice - yes why not delete
the whole tree (only if named in text file) and just
remake the directories again (as we already have the dir
name)
Thanks again
