I think the issue was by ths following , As a general rule, you should remove the temporary files that you create.
Recall that the $TEMP directory is a shared resource that other programs can use. Failure to remove the temporary files will have an impact on the other programs that use $TEMP.

I wish this helpful for you If using powershell instead of cmd is an option, you could do the following:
to delete the files:

code :

get-childitem c:\path\to\xml -filter *.tmp | remove-item

get-childitem c:\path\to\xml -filter *.bad |  where-object {$_.creationtime -gt (get-date).addminutes(-10)} | foreach-object {move-item $_.fullname ($_.fullname -replace '.bad','.xml')}

I hope this helps you . You did already a quite good job on writing the batch file, but made some small mistakes.
Using in first line ECHO ON helped to find those mistakes.

code :

@ECHO OFF
for /f "usebackq delims== tokens=2" %%i in ( `WMIC OS GET localdatetime /format:value` ) do set localTime=%%i
set "YYYY=%localTime:~0,4%"
set "M=%localTime:~4,1%"
set "MM=%localTime:~5,1%"
set "D=%localTime:~6,1%"
set "DD=%localTime:~7,1%"
if %M%==0 set M=
if %D%==0 set D=
cd /d "%~dp0"
for /F "usebackq tokens=* skip=5" %%X in ( `dir .\%YYYY%\%M%%MM%\%D%%DD%\Backup-serversave-%YYYY%-%M%%MM%-%D%%DD%--*.zip /b /o:-d` ) do del .\%YYYY%\%M%%MM%\%D%%DD%\%%X
pause

Script for search and delete only files created by me in Google Drive shared folder

around this issue You want to delete the files you created. The files are put in a shared folder. The files include the files which were created by several users. The files you want to delete are as follows. Files which were created 3 hours ago. In this case, there are the files which are created by you and other users. For the files which were created 3 hours ago, you want to leave only the latest file. While you follow the above condition, you want to delete only the files you created. You want to achieve this using Google Apps Script.
From your script and question, I could understand like this. If my understanding is correct, how about this answer? Please think of this as just one of several answers.

code :

function getOldFileIDs() {
  // Old date is 3 Hours
  var oldDate = new Date().getTime() - 3600*1000*3;
  var cutOffDate = new Date(oldDate).toISOString();

  // Get folderID using the URL on google drive
  var folder = DriveApp.getFolderById('XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX');
  var files = folder.searchFiles('modifiedDate < "' + cutOffDate + '"');

  var obj = [];
  while (files.hasNext()) {
    var file = files.next();
    obj.push({id: file.getId(), date: file.getDateCreated(), owner: file.getOwner().getEmail()}); // Modified
  }
  obj.sort(function(a, b) {
    var a= new Date(a.date).valueOf();
    var b= new Date(b.date).valueOf();
    return b-a;
  });
  obj.shift();
  return obj; // Modified
};

function deleteFiles() {
  var email = "###"; // Added
  var obj = getOldFileIDs; // Modified
  obj.forEach(function(e) { // Modified
    if (e.owner == email) { // Added
      Drive.Files.remove(e.id); // Modified
    }
  });
};

Drive.Files.remove(fileID);

try {Drive.Files.remove(fileID)} catch(e) {}
