❔ Batch script - remove last two folders from filepath
I have a filepath for example: C:\User...\dir1\dir2\dir3. How to delete last two dirs (dir2 and dir3) from a filepath? I have created simple function that only remove last dir from the path in a batch script like this:
set Dir="C:\User...\dir1\dir2\dir3"
for /D %%D in (%Dir%) do (
set "new_dir=%%~dpD"
)
echo "my new path" %new_dir%
How can I expand to to remove also a dir2 from a filepath?
example path: C:\User...\dir1\dir2\dir3
Target path is: C:\User...\dir1

to clarify, is this a C# question or a batch question?
batch
If you know the path, can't you just delete the dir2 recursively?
