i run a backup to a share and i need to delete old backup's
otherwise my share will run out of disk space

now i run this in file in Scheduled Tasks

@ECHO OFF
IF "%DAY%" == "Monday" GOTO FIRST

:SECOND
forfiles /p d:\bacup /s /m *.* /d -2 /c "cmd /c del @file : date >= 1 day > NUL"
GOTO END

:FIRST
forfiles /p d:\backup /s /m *.* /d -4 /c "cmd /c del @file : date >= 3 days > NUL"
GOTO END

:END

wich works fine, but i need to keep at least 1 file.
so if my backup fails for 2 days, this file will delete my last good backup.

i need to add that i will always keep the last file in this directory.

so something like, if there is only one file then DONT delete anything.

thanks

Someting like that?

thanks for the response but it still deletes all older files when there is only one file in there

now i have this
dunno if i do this correct

dir /a-d /b /s "d:\bacup\*" >nul 2>&1 ||goto :eof

@ECHO OFF
IF "%DAY%" == "Monday" GOTO FIRST

:SECOND
forfiles /p d:\bacup /s /m *.* /d -2 /c "cmd /c del @file : date >= 1 day > NUL"
GOTO END

:FIRST
forfiles /p d:\backup /s /m *.* /d -4 /c "cmd /c del @file : date >= 3 days > NUL"
GOTO END

:END
