Re: Automatically deleting oldest directories

'if not' works only for very few folders-to-ignore.
If you have a lot of it better take 'findstr'.

Re: Automatically deleting oldest directories

yes, just put 'forfiles' in a 'for /f' loop and send the output through 'findstr'.

Re: Automatically deleting oldest directories

try this (make a backup before):

Code: Select all

@echo off
forfiles /p "G:\VERITAS\B2D"  /d -5 /c "cmd /c if @isdir==TRUE rd /s /q @path"

Also look at "forfiles /?" at the command prompt.
