My forum is scheduled to do backups every day and save them to c:forumbackups is there any software that i can use to delete files older than 1 week from this folder.

EDITr maybe a script would be better?

If you're not that familiar with scripting, grab a hold of 4NT from here.

Scripting isn't really my bag, but, although this isn't a scripting host per se, it does contain a whole host of options for enhancing the command line tools which makes batch scripting easier.

For instance, your issue could probably resolved something like this:

DEL /[d-7,1/1/80] /Y \\C:\forumbackups

The same thing using WSH\VBScript would take a lot more code than that!
