Ben,
Why do you need a VB script? A simple batch file works fine.
Run a DOS window from the directory you want to clean up and then run
the
following batch file. Copy the text to Notepad and save it as
cleanfm.bat or
whatever

You can do that using Mif2Go's runfm utility, which is free.

Yes, works if the master path is consistent and does not cause

Hi Folks
Someone posted the text for a batch file (or similar) recently for
cleaning up backup files from a folder. I thought I had archived that
information, but now I need it, I can't find it. I'd appreciate it if
someone could send me the the information.
Thanks
Dave

In the shortcut, you might want to specify the "Start In" directory.
You can do this by finding your batch file, right-clicking and
selecting "Create Shortcut," then right-clicking on the Shortcut and
filling in the "Start In" field with the desired target directory.

Just to clarify one point, the specific part of the color definitions
that are inconsistent between files in this case are the print
settings: Print As and Overprint. For example, one file may be
set to print as spot color and the other to print as process color.

Using "del /s *.backup.*" will also work.
The /S switch tells the command to recursively trawl directories for
