Bat files

[CallMeBronco]

Im not talking about Batman,
I want to make a simple bat file that deletes files in a specific folders. And then possibly one that will do the same execpt only certain "types' of files.. yakno what I mean?

[Sir? what do ya think?]

i'm not really a pro on bat files at all, hmmm....

there is a way you can do it i suppose

"drive letter:\Folder Name\*.*"

to delete everything in the folder^^^

"drive:\folder\*.file extension"

File extension is the type of file you want to delete.

i am unsure about deleting files according to size and dates however... i hope this was something along the lines of what you were looking for.

*tip* if you have other folders inside the folder you're deleting files from you don't want to delete, make sure to use "drive:\foldername\*.*" this will only delete the files in the parent folder, you can add the other folder names beneath if you want to delete more.

I'm not good at them either bronco - it took me hours of research just to make the BAT files I have accompanying the autoboards

but here's the deleting BAT file I used to use on the H4 to delete mp3s from the MP3FILESnew folder:

for /f "delims=" %%i in (____mp3ToDelete.txt) do echo D|del "..\MP3FILESnew\%%i"

but that only works if you have all the mp3s you want to delete listed in a text file called ____mp3ToDelete.txt and the name of the folder to delete them from is MP3FILESnew, which is up one folder level from the BAT file

I think if you removed the ..\ from before MP3FILESnew and always edited the BAT file to reflect a different foldername you could run the BAT file from within the folder from which you want to delete the mp3s, also you can change the name of the text file in the BAT to whatever you want - that's all I can do for ya

if you wanted to make the
