China DOS Union

I downloaded a program and created 50 deformed folders on my desktop. The folder names are 1., 2.,... 50. How to batch delete them with a batch script? Please expert write a code!

Delete folders ending with a dot:

rd /a /q "1..\"

Can I delete in batches? I'm tired of deleting one by one. I know this code. I only know that I can delete with the FOR command, but I don't know how to write it!

for /l %%a in (0 1 9) do (
for /l %%b in (0 1 9) do (
rd /q /s "%%a%%b..\" 2>nul
))

The code on floor 4 doesn't work, can't delete it. Why is there no path! My folder name is 1. Not 01.!

@echo off
rmdir c:\%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\用户名\桌面\1...\ /s
pause

I have more than one folder, there are too many, it's too troublesome to delete one by one! I want to use the FOR command to delete, but I don't know how to write it!

```
@echo off

:DELF
if == goto :EOF
rd /s /q %1.\
shift
goto :DELF
```

The code on the 8th floor doesn't work either!

If you are using the Chinese version of Windows:
@echo off for /l %%a in (0 1 50) do rd /q /s "%userporfile%\Desktop\%%a%%b.." 2>nul

The code on the 10th floor doesn't work either!

Is it prompting for access denied...

Just did an experiment, Windows has a limit on the maximum length of supported parameters. For folders on the desktop, probably at most 40 can be deleted simultaneously...

P.S. The %%b on floor 10 shouldn't be there

There is a %%b added above, make a small change:
for /l %%a in (1 1 50) do rd /q /s "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\%%a..\"

Thanks a lot! It succeeded at the 13th floor! All deleted, and learned something again!

Do not run under the path where the ghost backup file is located!

:: Delete abnormal directories in the current path for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir/ad/b^|findstr /e "\."') do rd /q/s "%%a.\"
:: Delete abnormal directories in the current path, including subdirectories for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir/ad/s/b^|findstr /e "\."') do rd /q/s "%%a.\"

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Delete empty abnormal directories in the directory tree and display non-empty abnormal directories
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir/ad/s/b^|findstr /e "\."') do rd "%%a.\" 2>nul||echo %%a
