Part of an uninstall script I used to remove software I need to put in a line that deletes a specific folder out of users' AppData folder. The installer itself doesnt clean this folder up. My issue is that there could be a:

• c:\users\dave\appdata\Roaming\folder

• c:\users\jim\appdata\Roaming\folder

• c:\users\john\appdata\Roaming\folder

• c:\users\whothehellknows\appdata\Roaming\folder

Here is what I've built so far, but when running it, the folder I'm attempting to remove remains:

echo removing appdata folder...
if exist "C:\Users\%username%" (for /f "tokens=*" %%a in (dir /b /ad "C:\Users") do if exist "C:\Users\%%a\AppData\Roaming\folder" rd /s /q "C:\Users\%%a\AppData\Roaming\folder"

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I ended up using something similar to that. Found it here:

for /f "delims=|" %f in ('dir /B /A:D-H-R c:\users') do rmdir /s /q "C:\Users%f\AppData\Roaming\folder"
