DOS Batch File To Delete 5 Days Older files in folder and its subfolders.

34 New Member
Hi,

I don't know whether it is the right place to ask this question. But I am facing a problem. I need write a batch file which will delete files which are 5 days older from current system date in the given folder and in it's sub folders also. I have written any batch file till now. Another question I have is, I have a VB Script which do the same thing above mentioned. But to run this script in any Windows OS do I need any .exe or tools. In the script i have used wscript.Echo commands.

Thanks

Manoj
