I need the count of the longest path in my folder and put it in a variable. Because when I remove recursively subfolders I have to do it multiple times to check if there is other empty folders.
FOR /l %%y IN (0, 1, 3) DO (
FOR /r "%MyPath%" /d %%F IN (.) DO DIR /b "%%F" | findstr "^" > NUL || RD "%%F"
)
I don't know if there is a parameter that I can use to remove all of my empty subfolders but all I found is this way and I need to replace the 3 with the count of subfolders in my biggest path.
CodePudding user response:
for /f "delims=" %%s in ('dir /s /b /ad "%sourcedir%"^|sort /r') do dir /b "%%s"|findstr "^" > NUL|| RD "%%s"
should delete your empty directories.
The dir
command lists the directories in the tree rooted at sourcedir
. This is sorted in reverse order so the subdirectories of any subdirectory are processed before the subdirectory.
I'd target a test directory for - well, testing...
