Windows batch command for deleting particular pattern named folders in temp

Hi All,'

I need to write a windows bat program to delete particular folders with naming pattern scoped_dir45666 (for example)(including contents)
with batch program. For that I am using below code:
Code:
@echo off
cd /D %temp%
for /d %%D in (*) do rd /s /q "%%D"
del /f /q *

i got above code from some forum, but its deleting everything causing system issues...(its screwing some os files also I guess)

I need to delete all directories names starting with scoped_dirxxxxx (scoped_dir*) can some one advise how to modify above code to delete only folders name starting with scoped_dir in %temp% folder

NAME
ecaccess-queue-list - List available queues SYNOPSIS
ecaccess-queue-list -version|-help|-manual ecaccess-queue-list [-debug] [queue-name] DESCRIPTION
Two different types of queues are in use with ECaccess: 1 - The ECaccess batch queues, which correspond to one system at ECMWF with its specific batch environment, e.g. ecgate will be the ECaccess queue, which will redirect jobs to ecgate at ECMWF, running LoadLeveler. This ECaccess queue will be given as argument when submitting a batch job. 2 - The batch queues (or classes) on the systems at ECMWF will be given in the batch job with #@ class = for LoadLeveler. The names of the ECaccess queues and associated batch queues at ECMWF can be seen with this command. When an ECaccess queue-name is specified then the details for this queue are displayed (including the list of classes). The first ECaccess batch queue in the list is the default queue when submitting a batch job with the ecaccess-job-submit command. ARGUMENTS
queue-name (optional) The name of the ECaccess queue to retrieve the details. OPTIONS
-version Display version number and exits. -help Print a brief help message and exits. -manual Prints the manual page and exits. -debug Display the SOAP messages exchanged. EXAMPLES
ecaccess-queue-list List all the ECaccess batch queues (or systems supporting job submission at ECMWF). ecaccess-queue-list ecgate List all the batch queues (or classes) on the ECMWF system ecgate. SEE ALSO
