Hello
I created a script that deletes files that are more then 8 days old this is the script

forfiles /p H:\DATA\SCANS\ /s /m *.* /d -8 /c "cmd /c del echo @FILE"

I am running this script on multiple servers and it works on all but one of them. On the server that the script fails on I get an error that it could not find

H:\DATA\SCANS\echo

maybe del @FILE

Why do you need to "cmd /c del echo @FILE" instead of just "cmd /c del @FILE"?

"del echo" doesn't make sense, it's trying to delete a file named echo.
