It appears that, after doing more research, the keep_root variable does not
keep the \data folder intact but removes it. Unless I am mistaken, is there
another method to cleaning a directory of files and subdirectories without
removing the directory itself?
(I know I can do it programmatically but I was wondering if there was a
'1-liner' like the one previously listed).

Subject: deleting subdirectories only in Win32
Hello,
When trying to delete subdirectories and their files on WinXP SP3, the
following code also removes the root directory of the subdirectories. Can I
get some assistance? I want to keep C:\my\data intact but I am losing the
\data folder
#
# Code to remove all files and subdirectories under C:\my\data
#
perl -e "use File::Path; rmtree('C:/my/data',{keep_root => 1, safe => 1});"
