Try this.

@ECHO OFF CD "E:\test1" FOR /D /R %%A IN (*ABC) DO RMDIR /S /Q %%A

Before you actually run the above script to delete the folders, you can confirm you'll be deleting the right ones with this script.

@ECHO OFF CD "E:\test1" FOR /D /R %%A IN (*ABC) DO ECHO %%A

I'd highly recommend running the second script first just to make sure you only get the folders you want.
