Windows 10: Forfiles Error Invalid Agrument

Not sure why return error Invalid Agrument

Some one can see the issue. Thank you.

forfiles /p C:\Program Files\MicrosoftSQLServer\MSSQL15.SQL\MSSQL\Backup\ -s -m *.bak /D -2 /C "cmd /c del /q @path"

:)

 

the handle is invalid HELP!

I'm going through the same thing right now. i tried to go in and come in on safe mode but it still would give me the same error. Now it will take my password, start to log in and bring up my main screen but it blip then goes back to the sign in page where i put my password in it would give that 'invalid handle" message.

 

Delete Files with Task Scheduler using ForFiles

Why are you searching subdirectories when you plan on clobbering everything with "rd /s /q"?

What you might (are probably) be seeing is this:

1. forfiles builds a list of files to work with:
   say... "C:\This" and "C:\This\That"
   
2. You get "C:\This" handed to you
   
3. You delete "C:\This" recursively
   
4. You get "C:\This\That" handed to you.
   
5. You get an error deleting it because it doesn't exist.
   

One other condition can happen too! There can be a file handle open while enumerating the tree so when you try to delete "C:\This", "C:\This\That" is still locked open by forfiles. I don't know if forfiles is written to circumvent this but I have for sure run into this while programming.

Suggestion: Drop the /S from forfiles (best) OR add "blah blah blah.. if exist @file" blah blah blah (not best).

Current /? (-?) or / help (-help) parameter is invalid
