It can only delete the 123456 folders inside subdirectories. If I create a 123456 folder in the root directory, it can't delete it. Please take a look at where my code is wrong.

for %%a in (c d e f) do (if exist %%a: (for /f "delims=" %%b in ('dir /s /b /d /a "%%a:\123456"') do (rd /s/q "%%b")))

It really is like that. For example, if the folder C:\123456 exists, then dir /s /a:d /b C:\123456 starts looking for the 123456 folder under C:\123456\.

What I usually do is first check (if exist) whether there is such a file (folder) in the root directory...

@echo off

for %%A in (c d e f) do (

  if exist %%A: (

    if exist "%%A:\123456\" rd /s /q "%%A:\123456\"

    for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /s /a:d /b "%%A:\123456" 2^>nul') do (

      rd /s /q "%%a"

    )

  )

)

Thanks to the friend in the post above.

Try this?

@echo off

for %%a in (c d e f) do (

if exist %%a: (

for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir /a /s /ad /b "%%a:\*"^|findstr /i /e "\123456"') do (

echo rd /s/q "%%i"

)

)

)

echo.&pause

moniuming, thank you very much, the test succeeded!!
