Script to delete all folders except

I found a script that will delete all folders except a certain one

for /d %i in ("C:\test\*") do if /i not "%~nxi"=="test2" rd /q "%i"

How do you change this to add more folders that I don't want deleting?

@echo off
set "list=test1 test2 test3"
setlocal enableDelayedExpansion
set "delete=0"
pushd "C:\test\"
for /d %%i in (*) do (
   set "delete=1"
   for %%# in (%list%) do (
    if /i "%%i" equ "%%#" (
        set "delete=0"
        echo  %%i will be not deleted
    )
  )
  if !delete!==1 (
    rd /s /q "%%i"
  )

)
popd
