I am trying to write a batch file to delete all files older than one hour
within a folder.

Can't be done in the Windows command prompt (what you call "MSDOS").
4NT from Jpsoft can do it with one command.

Because of some restriction, I cannot use any 3rd party tool.

Then you're screwed. Your only options are to get that "restriction"
lifted or write a program or script not batch file) to examine file
dates and delete accordingly.
