How can I delete all folders whose names are SoftwareDistribution.bak?

Question

rmdir /s /q "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution.bak\" 

The above will delete a single folder: SoftwareDistribution.bak.
How can I delete all folders whose names are SoftwareDistribution.bak? For example, SoftwareDistribution.bak1, SoftwareDistribution.bak3, SoftwareDistribution.bak2, and so on.

Answer 1

Rmdir won't accept wildcards, so you have to enumerate the dirs first

for /D %A in (C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution.bak*) Do @RMDir /S /Q "%A"

For security reasons I'd omit the /Q switch while testing.
In a batch file change %A to %%A
