Can XCOPY do this for me?

Comment:
I have an xcopy batch file that has these flags set: xcopy /c /d /h /s /i /r /y "d:\etalus" "d:\copyetalus" >> "d:\xcopylog.txt" this configuration seems to update changed or newer files that exist on the desitination side. But it does not remove files or folders on the destination side, if they no longer reside on the origination side. Is there a way I can 1) make xcopy do that, or 2) do it another way?

No with just the XCOPY command that is aimed to copy not delete files, but adding the following statements to your batch.
Please, after testing and when you are sure all worked fine, remove the ECHO command in front of del and RD to really enable the deleting process. pushd D:\copyetalus for %%j in (*) do if not exist "D:\etalus\%%j" ECHO DEL "%%j" for /D %%j in (*) do if not exist "D:\etalus\%%j" ECHO RD /S /Q "%%j" popd

I just added some fake files to D:\copyetalus and ran the code. They did not get removed. Can yo confirm for me that your code will Remove from D:\copyetalus all of the files and folders that ARE NOT in D:\etalus. NOTE: D:\etalus is the BIBLE and cannot be changed. Thanks

Did you carefully read my post?
In the second paragraph, beginning with Please, after testing and , I stated you must remove the ECHO in front of DEL and RD to activate the deletion. That is for your safety.
YES, the script, if modified, does what you asked.
