Open multiple folders with batch script

I have on my computer an partition named H: On that partition i have diffent folders with each a folder called "bin" Example: 

H:MyFolder\Bin
H:AnotherFolder\Bin

I know that I can delete bin with the follow command:

 set folder="H:\Bin"
 cd /d %folder%
 for /F "delims=" %%i in ('dir /b') do (rmdir "%%i" /s/q || del "%%i" /s/q)

Is it possible to empty all the bin folders from all folders in partition H: with a command?

This will remove the content of all the bin folders under H:\ while keeping the folders.

for /r "H:\" /d %%a in (bin) do @if exist "%%~fa\" ( pushd "%%~fa" && ( echo "%%~fa" & echo rmdir . /s /q & popd ))

There is an echo command that precedes the rmdir. This is included for testing and must be removed to perform the content removal.
