Delete pdf files in a folder using a batch file

I would like to run a batch (.bat containing DOS commands) that would clean my folder by deleting any pdf that is still there. How do you do that ?

del *.pdf /q

Explanation:

del   -- Dos command to delete files

*.pdf -- all files with the .PDF extension in the current directory

/q    -- Don't ask for confirmation.

Assuming only one directory (no sub-directories): del *.pdf
