Deleting files older than 30 days from network location

Hi Everyone.

I am trying to delete files older than 30 days from a network location by using below script using in task scheduler.

PushD "\10.0.0.141\CNC-Files\test\Backup" &&(forfiles /d -30 /c "cmd /c del /q @file")& PopD

and it is working perfectly as desired. Now when I replace '@file' with '*.csv' to delete only .csv files older than 30 days.

it is deleting all the csv files regardless of the number of days.

PushD "\10.0.0.141\CNC-Files\test\Backup" &&(forfiles /d -30 /c "cmd /c del /q *.csv")& PopD

Any suggestion on how to correct this so that this will delete csv files older than 30 days.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Gaurav Kumar
