Need a script

Have you looked at the Forfiles command, it can find files or folders of a certain age:

This example, removes directories older than 20 days in c:\temp.

 forfiles /p "c:\temp" /c "cmd /c if @isdir==TRUE RMDIR /S /Q @path" /d -20

... sorry only saw now you asking about vb

Not a problem I need any thing that fulfills my work. Even a command or a script any thing

This should be close, adjust the constants at the top as needed.  Right now the actual delete is commented out, and it will just display the folders it thinks should be deleted.  This is for testing, if it works right uncomment out the delete.  Also, it is checking the date the folder was created currently, not last modified, since you didn't specify I wasn't sure so started with this.

Const conBaseDir = "C:\EE\Temp"
Const conDelAge = 7

' Create file system object
Set objFSO = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

' Call recursive routine to clean out old folders
CleanFolder objFSO.GetFolder(conBaseDir), conDelAge

' Release file system object
Set objFSO = Nothing


' Recursive subroutine to remove old subfolders
Sub CleanFolder(objFolder, intAge)

   ' See if this folders subfolders are old enough to delete.
   For Each objSubFolder In objFolder.SubFolders
      If DateDiff("d", objSubFolder.DateCreated, Now) >= intAge Then
         ' objSubFolder.Delete
         Wscript.Echo "Deleted Folder: [" & objSubFolder.Path & "], Age: [" & DateDiff("d", objSubFolder.DateCreated, Now) & "]"
      Else
         CleanFolder objSubFolder, intAge
      End If
   Next

End Sub

Hi Gavincr001,

ForFiles is an add on utility for Windows from Microsoft.  It was released in some of the Resource Kits and now is also part of Windows 7.  Further info can be found at:

Hi All,

The below forfiles command is working fine in Win7,WIn2003 and WIn2008:

forfiles /p "e:\shilpa" /c "cmd /c if @isdir==TRUE RMDIR /S /Q @path" /d -20

But it is not working in win2000.

Need help to use the forfiles command in 2000 to delete the folders in a path which is 7 days old.

Thanks
