I am trying to create a Robocopy script that will copy files from one location to another location and purge the source files based on the timestamp. The script runs every hour at :00 and it copies the files to another location but, I want it to only delete the source files that are older than 15 minutes prior to the top of the hour. For example, the script runs at 11pm and I want it to only delete files older than 10:45pm. This is what I have currently in my script but, I don't know what switch(es) to use to do the file delete based on timestamp.<br />
<br />
robocopy &quot;\\10.11.20.10\Share\CX&quot; &quot;D:\FC_Import\CXM&quot; /S /E /SEC /MOV /COPYALL /V /NP /LOG+:&quot;d:\Robocopy.txt&quot; /R:3 /W:5

Robocopy switches to purge based on timestamp

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.

Windows Batch

The term 'shell' refers to a general class of text-based command interpreters most often associated with the UNIX and Linux operating systems. Popular shells include Bourne, Debian Almquist (dash), Korn (ksh), Bourne Again (bash) and the C shell family (csh). Some view the DOS 'cmd' prompt as a minimal shell of sorts. It is also possible to install Cygwin on Windows and emulate a full Unix environment with complete shell capabilities. Terminal emulators, such as xterm, GNOME Terminal and OS X Terminal, can be used to access shell.
