Would be great to see an example, including the text of the batch file itself.

Here is a simple one that deletes all files in a parent’s child directories.

@echo off
setlocal
set “BATCH_DIR=%~dp0“

for /d %%D in (“%BATCH_DIR%*”) do (
    del /q “%%D\*.*”
)
endlocal

  • It is both parent and child directory agnostic.
  • Drop the batch file in whatever parent directory you wish.
  • Reference the batch file (script) in the “Call external script” task.
  • It does not touch any files at the parent level.
