I have a basic bit of code which i am using to delete text files within a given directory[code]...
intdays is a variable which determines how many days the files should be retained for.
To test the code i set intdays to 0, assuming that it would delete any files in the directoy. However it doesn't, but creates no errors.
The time "Now" is #2/8/2012 13:59:00 PM# which is greater than 0. But im confused as to why it doesnt then delete the file?
how I can delete files in a directory that are older than 7 days and have a specific name?

No, I can not just delete older than x days because there can be more than one backup file per day and some times it may be 2-3 days before a backup file appears.
I have a service that produces .txt files to a folder every 30 seconds. Is there anyway to delete files that are older than x amount of days?

I've reached the end of my project but I have several unused and not needed .xsd files from trial and error of linking my program to a database. I want to clean up a bit and get rid of them while keeping only the essential files attached to this program. I tried deleting the .xsd files but it seems too ingrained into the program to the point where the program has several errors and just breaks. I have to manually restore the files from the Recycle Bin to get the program to start working again.
What are other solutions to get these files out of the project? I thought about clicking "Exclude From Project" but am afraid of the consequences. I figured I'd check with someone here before taking action.

View 1 RepliesI am new to VB but I do have VS2005 and I was looking at some code examples here on deleting files by days old and I need to do something similar, I would like to start a say C:myData**.xit and search through all sub folders under myData and move all the .xit files based on days old into a temp folder. Then I could verify them before I delete them manually to be safe. So how do I loop through all sub folders? and can I just modify this code to do that? Here is the code I was thinking about starting with [URL].

I have a date in the future e.g. 13/10/2008 I need to subtract the current date (today is the 28/09/2010) minus 7 days, so thats 21/09/2010 minus 13/10/2008, which would equal erm, 720 something ?
