Deleteing Files in a folder based on date!
Hi -
I have a folder that contains about 250,000 zipped files. Windows explorer is having tremendous difficulty opening such folder, even when it displays results (after 10 or so minutes) it hangs after I even highlight any files for deletion. a lot of these files go back to 2006 and 2007. I kindly NEED a DOS batch file or some script that I would enable me to delete the files that are older than may 2008 (In other words delete files between May 2008 and May 2006). Thank You, and your efforts are much appreciated in advance. wiseteufel -- Message posted via WindowsKB.com http://www.windowskb.com/Uwe/Forums....-file/200809/1 |

Why don't you use Windows Advanced search? I hope you are using Vista...Go advanced search and use BEFORE May 2008.. -- tweakwindows 'http://www.tweakwindows.co.cc' (www.tweakwindows.co.cc) 'Exclusive:Create Live CD/DVD/USB Of Vista or XP or Se7en' (http://tinyurl.com/5z7jdo) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tweakwindows's Profile: http://winvistaclub.com/forum/member.php?userid=135 View this thread: http://winvistaclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21863 |
