When running the command `for /r "C:\Documents and Settings\enc\My Documents" %%1 in (*.log *.tmp) do del %%1`, an error occurs: The system cannot find the specified path. In addition, files with spaces in the file name cannot be deleted either (clever XP recognizes it as n parts). why

%1 refers to the short file name, and the long file name is "%l". Using quotes solves the problem of file names with spaces.
In addition, a single percent sign is used in ordinary commands, while two percent signs are used in batch processing.

What the person above said seems to be not very useful

In the non-command line input:
for /r "C:\Documents and Settings\enc\My Documents" %1 in (*.log *.tmp) do del "%1"
In the batch file input:
for /r "C:\Documents and Settings\fff\My Documents" %%1 in (*.log *.tmp) do del “%%1”
for /r "C:\Documents and Settings\enc\My Documents" %1 in (*.log *.tmp) do del "%1"
In the batch file input:
for /r "C:\Documents and Settings\fff\My Documents" %%1 in (*.log *.tmp) do del “%%1”

Note that in the second floor it's l (lowercase letter), not 1 (digit).

6th floor is correct!
Another question:
I want to find a certain file among the searched files instead of performing a delete operation!
For example, search for files larger than 20kb in the C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\ directory, or files of a specific time!

You can try this upstairs to judge the file size
@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set a=
for /r "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files" %%i in (*.*) do if %%~zi GTR 20480 set a=%%i !a!
echo The files larger than 20K are %a%
And for time, only the modification time of the file can be obtained
