Hi, I have a Backup folder called cod5profiles with over 500 folders in it. Each of the folders should only have 1 folder in it called $$$, contaning data i need to keep, there is also a text file called active.txt and a file called myreg.key in the backup folder too (not in the $$$ folder) Due to a mistake on my part many of the folders now have copies of the other 300 folders in them. Could someone help me with a batch file that will clean out the folders, ie remove any folders that are not called $$$ in each backup folder. All the backup folders have diferent names but end in cod5, eg: smithacod5 jonesbcod5 any help would be wonderful Thank you Mac

Hi Mac Run this above the folder cod5profiles hence "cd cod5profiles". Change "rd /s /q "%%b" when happy as this will not ask for confirmation. @echo off cd cod5profiles for /D %%a in (*.*) do ( echo Directory %%a cd %%a for /D %%b in (*.*) do ( if not "%%b" EQU "$$$" rd /s "%%b" ) cd.. ) cd..

Thank you so very much. You talented guys are the boys! That little batch saved me a good hour+ Kindest regards Mac
