Nested For Statement in CMD

Question

I am currently having trouble trying to delete some files in a cmd script

I have the following:

for /d %%A in (C:\Users\*) do for /d %%B in (%%A\test\*) do echo %%B

Although I need to delete the output files, not list them

I have tried:

for /d %%A in (C:\Users\*) do for /d %%B in (%%A\test\*) do del %%B

But it didnt work

Answer 1

Add quotes around %%B e.g. for /d %%A in (C:\Users*) do for /d %%B in %%A\test* do del "%%B"

Answer 2

In addtion to Max's answer you can also use parenthesis to make the batch file easier to read. You should also use lowercase variable names.

@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion  

for /d %%a in (C:\Users\*) do (
    rem echo "directory: %%a"
    for /f %%b in ("%%a\test\*") do (
        echo "%%b"
        del "%%b"
    )
)
