Want to make a scheduled task to regularly clean up the materials in d:\Video Recordings once a month. But don't know how to write such a BAT file. Please help from kind - hearted people.

for /f "tokens=3 delims=-:/ " %%i in ("%date%") do schtasks /create /tn "Hanyeguxing" /tr "cmd /c del d:\*.mpg /f /q /a" /sc monthly /d %%i

How would you clean up?
If you want to delete all mpg files under the D root directory (excluding subdirectories) on this day of each month, you can:

for /f "tokens=3 delims=-:/ " %%i in ("%date%") do schtasks /create /tn "Hanyeguxing" /tr "cmd /c del d:\*.mpg /f /q /a" /sc monthly /d %%i

If you only make a BAT to clean files every month, then this BAT must be kept on all the time.
You can do it like this. Save the following code as a BAT, add it to the task scheduler, and let it start once a month. Is this very concise? Hehe.
del /q d:\Video Recording Materials\*.*
The above can only delete all files under d:\Video Recording Materials\, and cannot delete folders and files in subdirectories.
del /q /s d:\Video Recording Materials\*.*
Delete all files under d:\Video Recording Materials\ and all files in subdirectories, but cannot delete folders.

Reply to the expert in floor 2, I didn't express it accurately enough, sorry.
Actually, the BAT file I want to write is to make a scheduled task,
Regularly clean up the video files *.* in d:\Video Recordings\ every month,
For example, now it's December 2009, I need to clean up the video files of October and November before, please write it again

Thanks, brother on the 3rd floor.

Please first right-click and check the properties of your files.

Are you going to clean up based on "Creation Time" or "Modification Time"

If it's the latter, I can help with that. If it's the former, using a bat would need to call WMIC, which is too cumbersome for me...

Returning to LS, the basis for cleaning is "creation time"

Ask how to clean up folders named by dates

Actually, what I want to write is a BAT file to make a scheduled task,
regularly clean up the video files in the directory d:\Video Recordings\20091201\ every 2 months,
20091201 is a folder named by date,
just like now it's December 2009, I need to clean up the video files from October and November before that

I have also seen this here, but I can't solve it by myself

@echo off

:: 设置要处理几个月之内的（不包括这个月）

:: 小于 12 ，不然我没测试是否出错

set /a n=2

:: 设置要处理的文件的通配符表示（只能每次处理一个文件夹的）

set files=d:\视频录像的资料\20091201\*.*

Oh my god, I'm exhausted. I wrote one for you. Don't rush to run it, let me explain first.

1. Don't post repeatedly. This behavior is very despised.

2. Only one folder can be handled each time, so you need to set it each time. Modify this code. Do you know wildcards? Like
set files=d:\Video Recording Materials\20091201\*.*
or change it to *.rmvb

3. Remember that this processes the 'creation date', please understand it carefully.

4. First confirm that your machine has WMIC installed. The specific method is to execute wmic in the command line window. Only after installation can this batch file be run.

@echo off

:: Set how many months ago to handle (excluding this month)

:: Less than 12, otherwise I haven't tested if it goes wrong

set /a n=2

:: Set the wildcard representation of the files to handle (only one folder can be handled each time)

set files=d:\Video Recording Materials\20091201\*.*

First of all, similar to how often to run the batch processing, it is set in the task schedule.

Run this batch processing in the task schedule:

for /f "skip=5 tokens=1,2,3,4,5,7* delims=-:/ " %%i in ('dir "path" /a:-d /t:c') do if not "%%m" == "" if "%%i%%j%%k%%l%%m" gtr "time1" if "%%i%%j%%k%%l%%m" lss "time2" @del "path\%%n%%o" /a /f /q>nul 2>nul

Among them:
1. Path refers to the directory to be operated, for example d:\video recording materials
2. Time is the comparison time. For example, taking October 12, 2009 09:13 as the dividing point, it is written as 200910120913, where: time1 is the start of the time period, time2 is the end of the time period, and this batch processing will delete all files created between this time period.
3. This batch processing can only process one directory (folder) at a time and does not process its subdirectories (folders).
4. This batch processing depends on the output format of dir, so please test the dir command output before running to see if it meets the requirements of this batch processing. Run dir "path" /a:-d /t:c in cmd
See if the output is like the following example.


Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 303A-5C0B

Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\Hanye Guxing

If you only want to delete files before a certain time point, you can write it like this:

for /f "skip=5 tokens=1,2,3,4,5,7* delims=-:/ " %%i in ('dir "path" /a:-d /t:c') do if not "%%m" == "" if "%%i%%j%%k%%l%%m" lss "time" @del "path\%%n%%o" /a /f /q>nul 2>nul

If you want to delete files from the previous few months, you can write it like this:

@echo off&setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

set n=5

for /f "tokens=1,2 delims=-:/ " %%a in ("%date%") do (set a1=%%a&set a2=%%a&set b=%%b

if "%%b" lss "10" set b=!b:~1,1!)

set/a b1=%b%-%n%&set/a b2=%b%-1

if %b2% leq 0 set/a a2=%a2%-1&set/a b2=12

if %b2% leq 9 set b2=0%b2%

if %b1% leq 0 set/a a1=%a1%-1&set/a b1=12+%b1%

if %b1% leq 9 set b1=0%b1%

for /f "skip=5 tokens=1,2,3,4,5,7* delims=-:/ " %%i in ('dir "路径" /a:-d /t:c') do if not "%%m" == "" if "%%i%%j" geq "%b1%" if "%%i%%j" leq "%b2%" @del "路径\%%n%%o" /a /f /q>nul 2>nul

Among them, set n= sets the length of the month. For example, if it is currently December, and you want to delete files from the previous 5 months, then set set n=5, that is, the months to be checked are July, August, September, October, November.
Note that n must be a number between 1 and 12.

The person upstairs is amazing. Using it so cleverly and concisely. Learned it.

Thank you very much: qinchun36 and Hanyeguxing;
I will study seriously
