   As I said, you don't need to do both, one is sufficient.

   Why do you use "@for" instead of "for"?   
   Why do you use "usebackq"?   
   Why do you use "delims=|"?   
   Why do you use "dir" to first list all files and then search for   
   "desktop.ini". It is inefficient and also will delete wrong files   
   (for example "adesktop.ini" will also be deleted).   
      
   Why don't you use the simple "for" I suggested:   
      
   > for /f  %%i in ('dir /s /b /x \desktop.ini') do echo %%i   
      
      
   > cd\   
      
   A second cd\ does nothing.
