The snapshots for each day are stored in a sub-directory, named after that date, i.e., C:\Parcams\parcams-12-30-2009 I have prepared a script for purging files and folders that are greater than "n" days old. However, I have not quite got the script right. It successfully deletes the files inside the dated directories, but it leaves the empty directories behind. pic: http://screencast.com/t/OWFlYmEy Here is the text of the script: mkdir c:\dump robocopy C:\PARCAMS C:\dump /E /MOV /MINAGE:60 /R:10 rmdir C:\dump /s /q Here is a screenshot of the results of the batch file: http://screencast.com/t/ZjMyMzVjN Any suggested tweaks? I'd like to have the script remove those empty directories too.
