Which loop are you trying to exit? &nbsp;You want to process all files in the FOR loop right, so that you delete the 0 size ones, and leave the rest. &nbsp;So I don't think you want to exit that loop.<br />
<br />
If you mean the GOTO loop named :LOOP, then under what condition do you want to exit that?<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am running a batch script that checks for error files in a specific folder every 60 seconds.This script deletes any error file with size 0 kb(empty file).<br />
If the file size is greater than 0 kb it should exit the loop.<br />
<br />
I am unable to exit the loop if &nbsp;the file size is greater than 0 kb. Please advise.<br />
For your reference the script I have implemented is as follows.<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-29000522-1">:Loop
FOR %%F IN (C:\errorfolder\error*) DO (
IF %%~zF LSS 1 DEL %%F
) 

timeout /t 60 /nobreak &gt;nul 2&gt;&amp;1

goto :Loop</code></pre>

Thanks.

Batch script to check for file size and delete/keep

Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) was an operating system for x86-based personal computers, and traces of it are still found in the Windows operating system. DOS is still used in some embedded systems and for certain legacy 16-bit networks.

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.
