The most popular way to do it is by ping:

ping 1.1.1.1 -n NumberOfRetries -w TimeToWaitBetweenTries

so that it waits for approximately (NumberOfRetries) multiplied by (TimeToWaitBetweenTries) milliseconds.

If you want to suppress the output to the screen, just redirect it like this:

ping 1.1.1.1 -n 3 -w 1000 > null

Use DOS command to delete all files and subdirectories from specific folder (directory) – you must not be in this folder when executing this command:

rmdir /s /q "c:\Temp\Your-Dir-With-Subdirs"

md "c:\Temp\Your-Dir-With-Subdirs"
