Help... deleting files !

Post by *anghelcovici »

I need some help with this problem pls :
I have a directory with many subdirs and I want to delete all the files with an extension (e.g. *.exe) using TC.
I searched the other post but i didn't find anything..
It's there a way to do that without manually browsing each subfolder ?
Thanks....

use the search-dialog (Alt-F7), search for the files you want to delete. Click underneath the results "feed to listbox" to pass the results to the activ panel. Select all, delete.

An other aproach is to press Ctrl-B in the dir with all files/subdirs to get a list of all files without subdirs. Select the one you want to delete (you may use a mask with '+') and delete them.

Hint: If you want to delete them directly (without paperbin) hold down Shift while deleting.
