批量删除旧文件和空文件夹

Question

I have a batch file that works on my local machine (Windows 7), but doesn't fully work on the server it is intended to live on(Windows 2008 R2 Service Pack 1).

It needs to delete files older than a specified number of days in all listed folders, then delete empty folders and sub-folders.

Script:

set DaysOld=3
set "folders[0]=C:\Test\BatchDel\1"
set "folders[1]=C:\Test\BatchDel\2"
set "folders[2]=C:\Test\BatchDel\3"
set "folders[3]=C:\Test\BatchDel\DNE"


for /F "tokens=1* delims==" %%s in ('set folders[') do (
    forfiles /p "%%t" /s /m * /D -%DaysOld% /C "cmd /c del @path"
)

for /f "delims=" %%d in ('dir /ad/b/s ^| sort /R') do rd "%%d"
pause

When run on my local machine (spacing added):

C:\Test\BatchDel>set DaysOld=3
C:\Test\BatchDel>set "folders[0]=C:\Test\BatchDel\1"
C:\Test\BatchDel>set "folders[1]=C:\Test\BatchDel\2"
C:\Test\BatchDel>set "folders[2]=C:\Test\BatchDel\3"
C:\Test\BatchDel>set "folders[3]=C:\Test\BatchDel\DNE"

C:\Test\BatchDel>for /F "tokens=1* delims==" %s in ('set folders[') do (forfiles /p "%t" /s /m * /D -3 /C "cmd /c del @path" )
C:\Test\BatchDel>(forfiles /p "C:\Test\BatchDel\1" /s /m * /D -3 /C "cmd /c del@path" )
ERROR: No files found with the specified search criteria.
C:\Test\BatchDel>(forfiles /p "C:\Test\BatchDel\2" /s /m * /D -3 /C "cmd /c del@path" )
ERROR: No files found with the specified search criteria.
C:\Test\BatchDel>(forfiles /p "C:\Test\BatchDel\3" /s /m * /D -3 /C "cmd /c del@path" )
ERROR: No files found with the specified search criteria.
C:\Test\BatchDel>(forfiles /p "C:\Test\BatchDel\DNE" /s /m * /D -3 /C "cmd /c del @path" )
ERROR: The specified directory does not exist.

C:\Test\BatchDel>for /F "delims=" %d in ('dir /ad/b/s | sort /R') do rd "%d"

C:\Test\BatchDel>rd "C:\Test\BatchDel\3"
C:\Test\BatchDel>rd "C:\Test\BatchDel\2"
C:\Test\BatchDel>rd "C:\Test\BatchDel\1"
The directory is not empty.

C:\Test\BatchDel>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

When I run it on the server it asks for permission to delete each folder. (spacing added).

F:\data\Scripts>set DaysOld=5
F:\data\Scripts>set "folders[0]=F:\data\Environments\TestA\Cache_Data"
F:\data\Scripts>set "folders[1]=F:\data\Environments\TestB\Cache_Data"

F:\data\Scripts>for /F "tokens=1* delims==" %s in ('set folders[') do (forfiles /p "%t" /s /m * /D -5 /C "cmd /c del @path" )
F:\data\Scripts>(forfiles /p "F:\data\Environments\TestA\Cache_Data" /s /m * /D -5 /C "cmd /c del @path" )

F:\data\Environments\TestA\Cache_Data\0432f59d-9fd1-46ed-8579-9ebe358113fb\*, Are you sure (Y/N)?

I need it to delete the empty folders on the server without pressing Y for each one.

EDIT: I updated the script. Thanks aschipfl! it is now closer to working. It is now asking Y/N to delete each folder.

EDIT 2: updated the outputs.

I found this solution:

for /F "tokens=1* delims==" %%s in ('set folders[') do (
    forfiles /p "%%t" /s /m *.* /D -%DaysOld% /C "cmd /c del @path"
    for /f "delims=" %%d in ('dir "%%t" /s /b /ad ^| sort /r') do rd "%%d"
)
