Need help in finishing off a robocopy script.

I have the following robocopy script of which is 90 % there but just need it to delete the subfolders from "C:\CHILTERNDOWNLOADS" when the files have transferred.

Any Ideas on the command?

Thanks

Robocopy "C:\CHILTERNDOWNLOADS" "S:\CCTV Downloads\Chiltern Downloads" /S /MOV /R:10 /W:5 /V /ETA

Have you tried /MOVE rather than /MOV. Per the documentation:

/MOV :: MOVe files (delete from source after copying).
/MOVE :: MOVE files AND dirs (delete from source after copying).

Of course, I may not be understanding what you are trying to do...

NVIT

In a .bat/.cmd file:

for /d %%a in (C:\CHILTERNDOWNLOADS\*) do (
   rd /s /q "%%a"
)

Open in new window

On the CMD prompt:

for /d %a in (C:\CHILTERNDOWNLOADS\*) do rd /s /q "%a"

Open in new window

Tried

/MOVE :: MOVE files AND dirs (delete from source after copying).

It deletes the folders from "C" drive when complete.l I only need it to transfer and delete the SUB folders and keep the original.

What NVIT put does can that be added to end of robocopy??
