close cmd after running bat self-destructing bat from Java

Question

In my Java application, I create a temporary batch file which does some work for me and the self deletes using this line del /f /q %0. The bat file is launched using ProcessBuilder and then System.exit(0) is called.

This workflow works perfectly, however once the batch file reaches the end I am left with a command prompt window saying "The batch file cannot be found" and waiting for another command. Is there any way I can stop this from happening?

Answer 1

del /f /q %0 &exit

should help
