shell - Suppress error messages in Windows commandline

Question

Let's say I already have a folder created on the next path file: "C:userscharqusdesktopMyFolder", and I run the next command on CMD:

mkdir "C:userscharqusdesktopMyFolder"

I get a message like this: "A subdirectory or file C:userscharqusdesktopMyFolder already exists".

Therefore, is there any command in the commandline to get rid of this returned messages? I tried echo off but this is not what I looking for.

Answer 1

Redirect the output to nul

mkdir "C:userscharqusdesktopMyFolder" > nul

Depending on the command, you may also need to redirect errors too:

mkdir "C:userscharqusdesktopMyFolder" > nul 2> nul

Microsoft describes the options here, which is useful reading.
