How to Make Folder Bomb – Create Up to 10000 Folders within Seconds

You must have heard about ‘Zip Bomb‘- a zip file when extracted, takes tons of Gigabytes of space. Here is another one that is called Folder Bomb. People usually refer to it as a batch virus, but it is not. You can make a Folder Bomb batch virus using simple CMD commands. This is a simple batch file that can create thousands of folders within seconds. But it is harmless to your computer otherwise.

However, it can hang low-configuration computers. So, make sure you don’t run it on any low-config PC to avoid hanging issues. Besides that we also suggest you don’t run this file on your desktop otherwise you will get your desktop filled with thousands of empty folders.

Create a Folder Bomb that Can Create up to 10000 Folders within a Few Seconds

We do not need any third-party software for doing this, the only thing that we need is Notepad. Using simple Command prompt commands, we will create a Folder Bomb.

Step 1: Open Notepad

First of all, we need to open Notepad. You can open it from Start or press Windows Key + R to launch the RUN utility, then type notepad and press Enter.

Step 2: Create Folder Bomb Batch File

Now, you need to type the following simple code in Notepad. You can select and copy the code from down below-

@echo off
:top
md %random%
goto top

Press the Ctrl + S keyboard shortcut to save this file. Type the name “Folder-Bomb.bat” and select the file type as “All Files (*.*)“. Finally, click Save to save this file to the selected destination. Make sure to save this file within a folder (we have saved it in the Test folder).

WARNING: Do not keep the batch file on your desktop. Otherwise, it will fill your desktop with thousands of folders if you run it from there.

Step 3: Test Run your Folder Bomb Batch Virus

Now, we are ready with our batch file. Make sure it is inside a folder (in our case it is inside the Test folder). It’s time to test-run it.

So, to test our batch virus or script, simply double-click it. A command prompt window will appear and it will start creating a lot of folders.

Within a few seconds, it will create thousands of folders. You can close the Command prompt window to stop the script.
