The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Delete folder contents and subfolders contents based on date created.

Asked by wtm in Windows Batch Scripting, Visual Basic Programming, VB Script

Tags:

I found the below script on Experts Exchange and it works as stated. However, I need this script to delete all contents of a folder, including subfolders and their contents, based on the creation date. So for example all files and subfolders of C:\New Folder need to be deleted if they are older than 14 days. I have included the current scrip for review. Thank you for your assistance.
*******************************************************************************************************************************
Dim fso, startFolder, OlderThanDate

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
startFolder = "C:\New Folder\" ' folder to start deleting (subfolders will also be cleaned)
OlderThanDate = DateAdd("d", -2, Date)  ' 30 days (adjust as necessary)

DeleteOldFiles startFolder, OlderThanDate

Function DeleteOldFiles(folderName, BeforeDate)
   Dim folder, file, fileCollection, folderCollection, subFolder

   Set folder = fso.GetFolder(folderName)
   Set fileCollection = folder.Files
   For Each file In fileCollection
      If file.DateLastModified < BeforeDate Then
         fso.DeleteFile(file.Path)
      End If
   Next

    Set folderCollection = folder.SubFolders
    For Each subFolder In folderCollection
       DeleteOldFiles subFolder.Path, BeforeDate
    Next
