[SOLVED] How to create a batch script with timer to delete files automatically?.

[UncleFelow]

For example let's say I have a folder named "X" on my desktop, I want that folder or the files in it to be deleted automatically after 2 hours have passed since I ran the script and I also need a way to cancel it if I don't want the files to be deleted anymore.

Thank you.
