batch file remove all but the newest 10 files

Question

I have the following in a batch file:

:REMOLDFILES
ECHO Removing files older than 14 days. >>%LOGFILE%
cd /d %BKUPDIR%
FOR /f \"skip=14 delims=\" %%A I         


        

Answer 1

You could use FOR /F SKIP to ignore the last 10 most recently modified entries after sorting by last modified date:

for /f "skip=10 eol=: delims=" %%F in ('dir /b /o-d *.zip') do @del "%%F"
