How to delete subfolders and files in a folder

Hi,

I need your help.

There is a folder, it contains some subfolders and files.

I need to delete the files created 2days ago in this folder , I also need to
delete the files in the subfolders, but I do not need to delete the subfolder.

I have looked for the scripts in internet for a long time, but no result was
found.

Google this ng for:
"Deleting specific extensions files older than x days"
then combine the script there with one here:
"What about deleting sub-folders"

Instead of re-inventing the wheel, you could use someone else's wheel:
xxcopy.exe /db#2 /rs /yy /ed /s "d:\My Files"
You can download xxcopy.exe from a number of sites.

BTW, there appears to be a contradiction in your post. In the Subject line
you write "How to delete subfolders" but in the text you write "but I do not
need to delete the subfolder".

Thanks for your reply,Pegasus.
I do not need to delete the subfolders.
In this scenario,a folder named "abc" contains several subfolders named by
department.
I need to scan the "abc" folder to find files created or modified 2 days ago
and delete them.

I have downloaded XXCopy.exe and I will have a test tomorrow.
Thanks again!
