Re: delete files in a folder that are certain days old

This would work great for what I need, however, when I run this command the
date selection (/dt-100 or /d t-100) doesn't work. If I put in an exact
date it works well, but I need it to delete all files older than 100 days,
and need to run it monthly without having to enter a new date every month.
To list all of the files older than 100 days on drive C:, type:
> forfiles /p c:\ /s /m*.* /dt-100 /c"cmd /c echo @file : date >= 100
> days"
Am I doing something wrong?
