How to record how much data is deleted in a batch file

I have the following batch file

I need it to record how much data it has deleted in the following formats

How much in data (KB)

Try this:

@echo off
setLocal enableDelayedExpansion

set filePattern=*.temp

set totalSize=0
for /F "tokens=* usebackq" %%a IN (`dir /b ^| findstr /R .!filePattern!$`) DO (
    set size=%%~za
    set /a totalSize=!totalSize! + !size!
)

del !filePattern! /s /Q

set /a totalSize=!totalSize! / 1024
echo Total size deleted (!filePattern!): !totalSize! KB
pause

You may have to change the !filePattern! accordingly based on your desired files to be deleted. Besides that, you may have to place this batch script on the same directory as the files to be deleted.

@echo info about deleted files:
@for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /s /-c /a-s *.tmp^| findstr /i "File(s) Directory"') do (
   @echo  %%a
)
@del *.tmp /s /Q
