Question: delete all subdirectories under a directory (not including the parent directory)
If I want to delete all subdirectories under HAIOU, but keep the parent directory HAIOU itself.
Using RD/S/Q HAIOU will pull out the entire HAIOU directory by the roots.

RMDIR path
RD path

/S In addition to the directory itself, also deletes all subdirectories and
files under the specified directory. Used to delete a directory tree.

Using the /S parameter deletes the parent directory too

My idea: (not convenient to test, please test it yourself. I don't know if there are any mistakes)



if %%a in (dir/ad/b) do rd %%a /s /q

If there are a few hundred directories with random numbers in the HAIOU directory, and I want to delete those directories but keep the HAIOU directory,
how should a batch file like this be written.

Already solved, thanks for chishingchan's hint, but it's FOR, not IF

Posting the code
for /f %%a in ('dir /ad /b /s c:\haiou') do rd /s/q %%a

Actually you can use RD /S /Q and then create a HAIOU folder again

After using it, it reports an error. My system is windows2003.
