How to delete scheduled task?

How to delete scheduled task from command line without confirmation? (schtasks delete)

  • I can create a task from command line like this: schtasks /create /tn SomeTask /tr "do.bat arg1 arg2" /sc ONCE /st 00:00:00 /sd 01/01/1991 and now I need to delete it. However the command needs to be confirmed and I don't know how to do that from BATCH file (bat/cmd). C:\> schtasks /delete /tn ContextSwitchTask WARNING: Are you sure you want to remove the task "ContextSwitchTask" (Y/N)? C:\> echo Y | schtasks /delete /tn ContextSwitchTask WARNING: Are you sure you want to remove the task "ContextSwitchTask" (Y/N)? Y ERROR: Invalid input. Type "SCHTASKS /DELETE /?" for usage. Question: How to delete scheduled task and force yes?

  • Answer:

    C:\> schtasks /delete /tn ContextSwitchTask /f
