Thanks. Found that this only applies to commandline not batchfiles. According to superuser.com/questions/444474/… by Dennis, if we want to use this in a batchfile it should be for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir /s /b /ad ^| sort /r') do rd "%%i". The for behaviour is slightly different between commandline and batchfiles.
