How do I delete all symlinks and only all symlinks from a folder with a batch file/script?

The folder is c:\wamp\www, and this is what I've tried:

Content files delete.cmd

for /f "delims=" %%D in ("dir /a:l /s /b c:\wamp\www") do (
rmdir c:\wamp\www\%%D
)

But my code does not work.

For deleting symlinks to files you want to use del

In order to delete symlinks to directories, you would use rmdir

Questioner

I want to delete a file (a .exe) from a folder, after a specified date, say 25/Feb/2010. How can I use scheduled tasks and batch files for this. I am not sure whether the code below work :

@ECHO OFF
CLS
CD c:\target_folder\
ECHO Y | DEL innocent.exe

Will it work? If not, what will?

And how to run it on or after a specified date? Another doubt is how to go about adding it to scheduled tasks? Will it work if I don't turn the system ON, on 25/FEB? My requirement is this, the file should be deleted after that date.
