Just a thought, but there is a freeware program called DEL! 
(that's an exclamation point on the end) which deletes without 
asking for confirmation; your original batch file command would work 
as DEL! c:\whateverthepathis.  If it works on your NT system, it 
would greatly simplify your batch command, and might speed the 
process up a bit as well.  I use it whenever I want to do a delete 
with a batch file without the step of confirmation.
I downloaded it from www.hotfiles.com, and it's probably on other 
shareware sites as well. 
The size of the cache allowed is probably a 
major factor in the speed, since the deleting would take a LOT of 
disk access, especially if the cache area is fragmented quite a bit.
