ECHO Total Number of deleted files: %finalcount%

The program is scanning each and every drive to delete apple.doc & orange.doc and after finished deleted all files from all drives it will give me the total result of how many total files deleted.

Please help.

You are missing the good old SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion. When working with variables which are modified inside FOR loops, you always have to add SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion at the beginning of your script. Further you have to address your loop-modified variables with !var! instead of %var%. That should be it.
