Windows 10: Delete similar files by batch file?

Hello everybody!

I'm writing a batch file that I want to use to delete different folders, whose folder name starts with the same name (e.g. Test) but ends differently (i.e. test number, test digit, etc.). Is there any solution for this? Or do I have to list every single folder?

Many thanks in advance!

Batch file

thank you for your reply. how to merge the codes so that the batch file does this

the batch file displays the options below

1. open the *.spl file in notepad
2. delete the *.shd and *.spl files
3.exit

commands execute as options are selected

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.
