Batch script to delete files

Question

I have a batch script as follows   D  del  D  TEST TEST1 Archive   TSV   del  D  TEST TEST1 Archive   TXT  del  D  TEST TEST2 Archive   TSV   del  D  TEST TEST2 Archive   TXT  del  D  TEST TEST 100  Archive   TSV   del  D  TEST TEST 100  Archive   TXT    The above code deletes all the   txt  and   tsv  files from all the folders except from the folder TEST 100   For deleting the files from TEST 100  i am getting the error as The Path could not be found  I guess the   symbol in the folder name creates the issue  Can anyone guide me to resolve the issue and to delete the files from the folder TEST 100

in batch code your path should not contain any Space so pls change your folder name from  TEST 100   to  TEST 100   and your new code will be  del  D  TEST TEST 100  Archive  TXT   hope this will resolve your problem

There s multiple ways of doing things in batch  so if escaping with a double percent    isn t working for you  then you could try something like this   set olddir  CD  cd  d  path of folder  del  file name  or   txt etc     cd  d   olddir     How this works   set olddir  CD  sets the variable  olddir  or any other variable name you like to the directory your batch file was launched from   cd  d  path of folder  changes the current directory the batch will be looking at  keep the  quotations and change path of folder to which ever path you aiming for   del  file name  or   txt etc     will delete the file in the current directory your batch is looking at  just don t add a directory path before the file name and just have the full file name or  to delete multiple files with the same extension with   txt or whatever extension you need    cd  d   olddir   takes the variable saved with your old path and goes back to the directory you started the batch with  its not important if you don t want the batch going back to its previous directory path  and like stated before the variable name can be changed to whatever you wish by changing the set olddir  CD  line
