Answer 1

You need to set delims parameter. Something like this :

for /f "delims=*" %%i in ('dir /a:d /s /b "PGP Corporation"') do echo rd /s %%i

This produces this output on my system :

rd /s C:\stack\PGP Corporation\my crap

ps : in my case %%i does not work, i had to use %i

Answer 2

You need to put the directory path, in the rd statement, in quotes:

for /f %%i in ('dir /a:d /s /b "PGP Corporation"') do echo rd /s "%%i"
