Today I have to schedule my server to Delete Files that older than 3 weeks. Because of my application, it stuck when I order that menu to display the ECG graph those are in a huge folder. So it query without SQL. That why I have to delete it!
First I thinking about Batch File. I think I cannot do it by only DOS command. I have to find out a solution.
After I search on google I have found one that so usefully. But I forgot to copy that to show you how come.
Just create DeleteFilebyOlderDate.vbs and copy these into it.
------------DeleteFilebyOlderDate.vbs---------------
Option Explicit
Dim fso
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Call DeleteFiles(fso.GetFolder("C:\Test"), 7, ".txt") '<----- Change this folder name to match with your case.
Sub DeleteFiles(srcFolder, daysCount, strExtension)
Dim srcFile, filesCount
filesCount = 0
If srcFolder.Files.Count = 0 Then
Wscript.Echo "No File to Delete"
Exit Sub
End If
For Each srcFile in srcFolder.Files
If DateDiff("d", Now, srcFile.DateCreated) < ((-1)*daysCount) Then
If (strExtension="") Or (Right(UCase(srcFile.Name), Len(strExtension))=UCase(strExtension)) Then
fso.DeleteFile srcFile, True
filesCount = filesCount+1
End If
End If
Next
Wscript.Echo filesCount & " Files Deleted successfully"
End Sub
------------------------------------------------------
Hope these information help!
Thank you.
