Since Windows upgrades generate $****$ folders in the %windir% directory, and generally these folders are useless, so I want to make a batch script to delete these folders.
That is, how to delete all the upgrade backup folders $****$ in the %windir% directory and all their contents? Deleting files can use wildcards, but del doesn't work. Using rd also requires the full name. How to use wildcards?

for /d /r %a in (c:\windows\$*$) do @rd /s /q "%a"
Not tested yet............

for /f %i in ('dir %systemroot% /adh /b ^|find "$NtUninstall"') do @echo %systemroot%\%i

After testing, the content from the 2nd floor:
There should not be "do" at this time
The content from the 3rd floor:
The command syntax is incorrect

The above are the test results.

I think you'd better take a look. I think there's no problem. There's a space after the ) symbol and then comes DO. The grammar problem on the third floor is that he made a mistake in the single quotes. It should be changed to '"........."' or '.......^| .........' and so on.

I followed what you wrote, and there is a space before do.

Try changing the sentence.

for /D %a in ("%windir%\$*$") do @rd /s /q "%a"

Then how to change it? I'm not familiar with for and don't understand it very much.
Helpless:
I don't know why, when I use the statement you gave on my computer, it says: "At this time, there should not be windira"
It hasn't been verified on other computers

Austion, I'm sorry, I can't solve your problem...

There should be no windira at this time

It's windir!!!

I entered it as I had to, but the result indeed shows: "At this time there should not be windira"

It's not windir or windira but it says windira "

My input is for /D %a in ("%windir%\$*$") do @rd /s /q "%a"
I wrote %windir% but the result shows: "At this time there should not be windira"

Heheh, is it true or false, I really tested it before posting it.
The building owner needs to replace %i with %%i in the batch processing.
I directly input it in the command line.
Hey

doudou:
I also did as you said and replaced %i with %%i.
There was no problem popping up, but still couldn't delete the required folder. Look at the picture.

Push it up, hope there are experts to help

@echo off
dir /s /b /ah c:\$*$>clean.txt
for /f %%i in (clean.txt) do @rd /s /q "%%i"
