Windows batch file to delete .svn files and folders

Question

In order to delete all \".svn\" files/folders/subfolders in \"myfolder\" I use this simple line in a batch file:

FOR /R myfolder %%X IN (.svn) DO (RD /S /Q \"%%X

If you want to delete all sub folders named .svn in Windows then create batch file with this content:

for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%i in ('dir /s /b /a:d *.svn') do (
rd /s /q "%%i"
)

save it in a file del_All_Dot_SVN_Folders.cmd . Run it. Your done.

Remember the above code has .svn whereas the code in the link has only *svn so its better to have the .svn to not accidentally have undesired effect.
