  • There are three answers in that question and two of them I have used successfully at my job. Update your question with what you have tried. – Squashman Aug 10 '18 at 07:08

  • You could also use [Dave Benham's JTimeStamp](https://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7523) to calculate a time difference. Use a `FOR` command to get the time stamp of the file. Then use the date and time variables for the current time and feed it to JTimeStamp to get the time difference. – Squashman Aug 10 '18 at 07:22

You could probably utilise PowerShell from your batch file for this.

Given your provided information you could try the following:

@PowerShell -NoP "GCI 'C:\tst*\*'|?{!$_.PSIsContainer -And ($_.LastWriteTime -LT (Get-Date).AddHours(-5))}|Rm -Wh"&Pause

This will not delete the files, for your protection, it will just show you those it would delete.
If you are satisfied with the output you can replace -Wh"&Pause at the end of the line with -Fo".
