Batch File to Delete result* Folders from Subfolders

I have a folder structure set up like so:

C:/Scripts
C:/Scripts/Script1
C:/Scripts/Script1/result2
C:/Scripts/Script1/result5
C:/Scripts/Script1/result1
C:/Scripts/Script2
C:/Scripts/Script2/result10
C:/Scripts/Script2/result7
C:/Scripts/Script3
C:/Scripts/Script3/result1
C:/Scripts/Script4

I'm looking to create a batch file I could keep in the C:/Scripts/ directory which would look in each of its subfolders (e.g. Script1, Script2, Script3, etc), and delete any folders within them (any files inside) that starts with result (e.g. result1, result2, result3, etc). Any suggestions?

Try something like this:

@echo off

setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

for /r "C:\Scripts" %%d in (.) do (
  set "name=%%~nxd"
  if /i "!name:~0,6!"=="result" rd /s /q "%%~d"
)
