Delete Files Older Than x Days - ForFiles.exe - Script Issues

[gtg93]

Hi,

 

I'm having a little issue with a batch script that I've managed to create, using information from various posts and forums on the web but can't quite get it right.

 

Can anyone offer any help?

 

I'm wanting the script to check a folders contents by the age and delete anything over 5 days old, the script I have at the minute is as follows:

 

forfiles /p "Insert Directory Within the quotation marks" /s /D -10 /M *.* /C "cmd /C del @path /Q"

Here's a line from one of my scripts, that's working fine :-

 

forfiles /P Z: /M "*.BKF" /D -21 /C "CMD /C DEL @FILE"

 

Z: is the path

*.BKF is the 'mask' -

-21 - 3 weeks is what we're keeping in this case.

 

Hope this is of some use.

Managed to get it working with a VBS now though
