I have this in a bat file, the file is triggered through windows task scheduler.

I have the credentials saved.

It seems to work when I type each line in the command prompt. If I click on the batch file it opens and closed immediately.

forfiles /p "D:\EpicorData\Reports\MANAGER" /s /d -2 /m *.xml /c "Cmd /c del Echo @Path"

forfiles /p "D:\EpicorData\Reports\MANAGER" /s /d -2 /m *.txt /c "Cmd /c del Echo @Path"

forfiles /p "E:\EPICORTEMP" /s /d -1 /m *.* /c "Cmd /c del Echo @Path"
