remove the word ECHO if you are satisfied with the results it outputs to the screen.

Code: Select all

@echo off
for %%G in ("f:\lnkremove\*") do IF EXIST "%userprofile%\Desktop\%%~nxG" ECHO del "%userprofile%\Desktop\%%~nxG"

I have tested this now. but cant get it to work.

Code: Select all

for %%G in ("%~d0\cleanuptool\lnk\*") do IF EXIST "%userprofile%\Desktop\%%~nxG" ECHO del "%userprofile%\Desktop\%%~nxG"

And get this message:
F:\Cleanuptool>for %G in ("F:\cleanuptool\lnk\*") do IF EXIST "C:\Users\Bruker\D
esktop\%~nxG" ECHO del "C:\Users\Bruker\Desktop\%~nxG"

F:\Cleanuptool>IF EXIST "C:\Users\Bruker\Desktop\Elkjøp Cloud.lnk" ECHO del "C:\
Users\Bruker\Desktop\Elkjøp Cloud.lnk"
del "C:\Users\Bruker\Desktop\Elkjøp Cloud.lnk"

F:\Cleanuptool>IF EXIST "C:\Users\Bruker\Desktop\Steam.lnk" ECHO del "C:\Users\B
ruker\Desktop\Steam.lnk"

F:\Cleanuptool>IF EXIST "C:\Users\Bruker\Desktop\LibreOffice 4.3.lnk" ECHO del "
C:\Users\Bruker\Desktop\LibreOffice 4.3.lnk"

F:\Cleanuptool>pause

F:\Cleanuptool>IF EXIST "C:\Users\Bruker\Desktop\Elkjøp Cloud.lnk" ECHO del "C:\
Users\Bruker\Desktop\Elkjøp Cloud.lnk"
del "C:\Users\Bruker\Desktop\Elkjøp Cloud.lnk"

The second line indicates that the file C:\Users\Bruker\Desktop\Elkjøp Cloud.lnk was deleted.

Even though it has been mentioned, the file(s) will not actually be deleted until you are happy with the script and then remove ECHO
