I am using this code for deleting but it is not working.
Please find the code below.

Current code:

@Echo off
forfiles /p "G:\ABC" /s /m *.* /c "cmd /c Del @path" /d - 5

If I want to do this process in a shared drive then what should be the specific code.

you can try to map the drive first with `net use` – npocmaka Jul 20 '16 at 07:18

There is a _space_ too much in the option `/d - 5`, it should read `/d -5`... – aschipfl Jul 20 '16 at 08:02
In the above linked thread there is a [`robocopy` solution](http://stackoverflow.com/a/6149776) that supports UNC paths too... – aschipfl Jul 20 '16 at 08:33
Thanks all for your valuable suggestion :) – Subhajit Podder Aug 03 '16 at 13:33
