Windows 10: Batch File to delete folders and its files later than 10 days

Hello, I have folders and thier files that get backed up every so often and get put into a folder named bk_Operator Rate Program. In the bk_Operator Rate Program folder there are folders with thier files within this main folder and they are named by the date they were backed up. Example: bk_ORP_ 02-19-2019. I try to run the bat file below but I get an error.


ERROR: Invalid argument/optin - '@isdir'.

Type "FORFILES /?" for usage.


Here is my .bat file


@echo off


FORFILES -P "H:\BACKUPS\bk_Operator Rate Program\" -d -10 -c "cmd /c IF @isdir == TRUE rd /S /Q @path"


pause >nul

:)

Don't use batch files very much but one I find useful is for creating a list of files in a directory.
Just copy the text below into Notepad and save as Filelist.bat

dir /a /-p /o:gen >filelist.txt

When you run it from a folder it will create a Filelist.txt file,in the same folder, that lists all the files in that folder.Useful when you are too lazy to type all the files out yourself.

Batch file

in fact when i reset a user password it is supposed to print the generated password to a printer but i don't want to print it. i want the batch file to open the .spl file generated in notepad, i note the password then on closing the notepad, the files .shd and .spl are deleted permanently from the folder
