Remove a task folder using schtasks.exe

In my program, after installing, I'm adding a task to the task scheduler using the following command :

schtasks.exe /create /xml "task.xml" /tn "MyTasks/Task1" /f

In order to properly uninstall the program, I want to be able to remove totally the task folder "MyTasks". I can selectively delete this task using this command, but the folder still exists in the end :

schtasks.exe /delete /tn "MyTasks/Task1" /f

Is there a way to completely delete the folder ?

Thanks !

This is a vbs file.

Set TS  = CreateObject("Schedule.Service")
TS.Connect("ComputerName")
Set RootFolder = TS.GetFolder("\")
RootFolder.DeleteFolder "MyTasks", 0

Substitute your computer name.

There is a way to do this, but not using schtasks: schtasks is able to create a directory, if asked for, but when using schtasks it can delete a task entry within a directory, but it can't delete the directory itself. I can only advise you to find the directory on your computer and to perform an rmdir.
