Batch job to delete files older than 2 days

Question

Hi , I  created a script to delete files and folder that are older than 2 days. I was able to run it but when there are no files the job fails. How to ignore/ by pass when there are no files, My scripts fails if no files exists at that location. 

@echo off
:: set folder path
net use Y: \\networkDrive\QA

:: set min age of files and folders to delete
set max_days=2

:: remove sub directories from %dump_path%
forfiles.exe /p Y:\ErrorFolder/d -%max_days% /c "cmd /c IF @isdir == TRUE rd /S /Q @path"

net use Y: /delete /Yes
