Delete all subdirectories under a directory (not including the parent directory) (Solved) - China DOS Union Forum

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.

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. [ Last edited by haiou327 on 2008-1-1 at 08:11 PM ]

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

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 [ Last edited by haiou327 on 2008-8-1 at 10:51 PM ]

You play DOS commands so well, there are really a lot of talented people in the DOS Union. I still need to work harder

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