 Posted: Tue Jul 18, 2006 7:21 pm Post subject: Deleting Files that are older than a specified time |
 |
|
This script allows for the deletion of files or folders that are older than a specific date and are of a specific file type or can be changed to delete all files in a folder. The script sends the files to the recycle bin and then empties the recycle bin to clear up disk space. GREAT FOR LOG FILES ON SERVERS!
| Code: |
;Check for the timestamp on the file prior to deletion
;Statements establish todays date and subtracts 7 days from it
;Places the date into the variable x.
x = %A_NowUTC%
x += -7, Days
;Successful Loop Statements
Time = %x%
OldFile =
Loop c:\source\*.dat* ; Loop the folder for specific files or all files
{
If (A_LoopFileTimeModified < Time)
{
OldFile := A_LoopFileLongPath
filerecycle, %OldFile%
}
}
;Empty the recely bin
fileRecycleEmpty

I don't understand why you send files to the recycle bin to empty it just after.
Is this some trick? Otherwise, a simple FileDelete would have been enough.

Well you can comment out the last line if you don't want them deleted permanently.
