I'm looking for a solution to allow users to delete certain file type older than X days from a specific path.
I managed to create this batch file so far:
@echo off
set /p FileAge= Delete files older than this many days:
set /p FileType= File type to delete. Seperate with comma. (mov, mxf...):
set /p FilePath= Full path of files location:
for %%G in (%FileType%,) do forfiles -p "%FilePath%" -s -m *%%G -d -%FileAge% -c "cmd /c echo @path"
Choice /M "These files will be deleted. Do you want to continue?"
If Errorlevel 1 Goto Yes
If Errorlevel 2 Goto No
:Yes
for %%G in (%FileType%,) do forfiles -p "%FilePath%" -s -m *%%G -d -%FileAge% -c "cmd /c del @path"
:No
exit
PAUSE
There are several things missing:
Hello O_ren to Stack Overflow.
Assume you are using Windows 7 or later we will use a folder named "Files"
to transfer desired file types inside "To_Delete"
Folder + a log file with the name "Log_%date%.txt"
After that you can simply delete or keep your files inside "To_Delete"
folder with del command.
in the example below this one liner solution will move ini files older than 7 days to our folder "To_Delete"
and log the moved files.
robocopy "C:\Files" "c:\Files\To_Remove" /mov *.ini /minage:7 >C:\Files\Log_%date:~-4,4%_%date:~-10,2%_%date:~-7,2%.txt
