Find and delete a file

[Morris, Lamar]

I need to find and delete a file (pagefile.pif) on a list of servers the
script will need to traverse the subdirectories. I'm dealing with a
virus right now and don't have time to write a script.

 

Regards

Untested Lamar:

Delete the echo if it returns the correct things

@echo off
for /f "delims=" %%a in (serverlist.txt) do (
for /f "delims=" %%b in ('dir %%a\pagefile.pif /b /s') do echo del "%%b")

Thanks.

I have a question if any of you can help.  Say you wanted to delete the cached internet files for all subdirectories of C:\Documents and Settings\UserA\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files, except where user is 'UserB', then leave the contents of the folder alone.  I don't want to delete the folder for any user, just the files inside.  I don't know how to do an array in batch.

See if you can adapt this:

:: Del temp files and cookies from all accounts except UserB
@echo off
setlocal
set "var=%SystemRoot%"
set var=%var:~0,1%
set "d=%var%:\Documents and Settings\"
:: change UserB in the next line
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir "%d%" /b /ad'^|find /v /i "\UserB\") do (
echo removing temp files from "%d%%%a"

if exist "%d%%%a\Cookies\" (
del /Q /S "%d%%%a\Cookies\*.*">nul 2>&1)

if exist "%d%%%a\Local Settings\History\History.IE5\" (
del /Q /S "%d%%%a\Local Settings\History\History.IE5\*.*">nul 2>&1)
if exist "%d%%%a\Local Settings\Temp\" (
del /Q /S "%d%%%a\Local Settings\Temp\*.*">nul 2>&1)
if exist "%d%%%a\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\" (
del /Q /S "%d%%%a\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\*.*">nul 2>&1)
del /Q /S "%temp%\*.*">nul 2>&1
)
echo done.
pause
exit

Thanks, I will test that out.  You are not removing temp files for user B, right?  that is the one I don't want to touch.

It is untested, but run this one and see if userB is listed.  It's the same
code with the delete portions removed.


 :: Del temp files and cookies from all accounts except UserB
 @echo off
 setlocal
 set "var=%SystemRoot%"
 set var=%var:~0,1%
 set "d=%var%:\Documents and Settings\"
 :: change UserB in the next line
 for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir "%d%" /b /ad'^|find /v /i "\UserB\") do (
 echo removing temp files from "%d%%%a"
 )
 echo done.
 pause
 exit
