Windows 10: Delete multiple folders

I have a folder with 440 folders, half of them are the as another with - copy appended to the name, is there any way I could delete them? I tried the commad prompt using "del *copy" and it didn't work. Any other ideas?

Duplicated Onedrive entry

Step #5 does not make sense to me....

• If you see multiple folders with OneDrive as the Data, right click on it, and then select Delete.

It says if you see "multiple" folders (which mean MORE THAN ONE), "click on IT" (which is only ONE). So if you see multiple folders, which "one" do you delete? Also, if you see only one folder, do you delete it???

 

Deleting Email Sub-Folders/Trash

I discovered you can hold down the keyboard delete button to delete multiple messages at a time in the deleted items folder.

 

del doesn't work on folders. rmdir is used for that but unfortunately it doesn't work with wildcards.

You can do this in PowerShell:
Code: powershell "Get-Item '* - Copy' | Remove-Item -Recurse -Force"[/quote] For example:

Code: C:\TEMP\test>dir Directory of C:\TEMP\test 03/06/2018 12:02 PM <DIR> . 03/06/2018 12:02 PM <DIR> .. 03/06/2018 11:47 AM <DIR> a 03/06/2018 11:47 AM <DIR> a - Copy 03/06/2018 11:48 AM <DIR> b 03/06/2018 11:48 AM <DIR> b - Copy 03/06/2018 11:48 AM <DIR> c 03/06/2018 11:48 AM <DIR> c - Copy C:\TEMP\test>powershell "Get-Item '* - Copy' | Remove-Item -Recurse -Force" C:\TEMP\test>dir Directory of C:\TEMP\test 03/06/2018 12:02 PM <DIR> . 03/06/2018 12:02 PM <DIR> .. 03/06/2018 11:47 AM <DIR> a 03/06/2018 11:48 AM <DIR> b 03/06/2018 11:48 AM <DIR> c[/quote]

 

Interesting, it deleted ~220 folders, 4 weren't deleted error said something like 'folder not empty', looked at the folders they were empty, reran the command and it cleared out those four.

Thanks again!
