try this instead, to delete files older than 10 days:

forfiles -p “” -s -m *.* -d -10 -c “cmd /C del @FILE”

Great script. Does just what I needed, and worked instantly. Thanks!

Hi,

How can I modify the code to filter only certain files only, e.g. Excel file *.xls?

Thanks

Hi,

Could this same code be used (with modification of course) to check number of folders and output when was the last time a file was modified inside each folder?

THanks,

Petri

IMHO, exceptions (immune dirs) is also a good idea. :)
