I'm trying to clean up a folder on a schedule. What's wrong?

Question

System administration

It is necessary to clean all the contents - both files and folders. Therefore del all the same does not roll.
I did this:
pushd "d:\folder" && (rmdir /s /q "d:\folder" & popd) 2>nul
and it works.
BUT! Only if you drive it into cmd manually. From the clean.cmd file - no way.
It is launched by the standard schedule on behalf of the administrator. Win Server 2000
===
Let's go the other way? What other ways are there to clean a folder on a schedule?

Answer 1

In short... it works like this. And without dancing with tambourines.

@echo off
1>nul chcp 1251
2>nul pushd "d:\folder" && rmdir /s /q "d:\folder\"
popd

All garbage, apparently, because of the encoding and the solution in the first line

Answer 2

1) If the folders with Russian letters did not confuse the batch file encoding?
2) did you check the box to run with the highest rights? (but most likely you shouldn't)
