Delete Files/Subfolder but keep parent

[SilverTongue]

Hey guys,

Looking for a way to delete all subfolder and files but keep the parent directory within cmd or if push comes to shove powershell (would prefer cmd so I can make a bat file)

i.e.
C:\Parent\Sub1\*.*
C:\Parent\Sub1\*.*
C:\Parent\Sub2\*.*
C:\Parent\Sub2\Sub3\*.*

Basically I want to keep C:\Parent but delete all of its contents, closest I can find would be RMDIR /S but that would delete C:\Parent as well or using cd C:\Parent which seems like a long winded way to do it, especially if I then want to add C:\Parent2 etc to it

Powershell
powershell -Command "Remove-Item 'c:\test\*' -Recurse -Force"

Command Prompt
cd c:\test
rd /S /Q . 2>nul

Perfect, thanks, the powershell one does exactly what I need, as does the CMD one but with the extra step I wanted to avoid
