Delete directories by date range
I understand there are limitations to DOS directory date operations, but thought I'd ask... Is there a way in TC to clean up old data by selecting folders - not files - by date range? I've looked and can't find that functionality anywhere. I can find files by date, and delete them but then I have all the empty folders left. So far I've only been able to find files by date then copy their folders paths to clip board, delete files then modify clip board file with DOS delete coding into a batch file. I'm hoping there is a more efficient way? Thanks in advance.
Try this
1. Press Alt+F7 to open the Find Files dialog.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Fill out the fields "Date between" + "and".
4. Click the "Attributes" checkbox.
5. Click the "Directory" checkbox twice.
6. Click the "Start search" button
7. After the search is completed click the "Feed to listbox" button.
8. Mark all the found folders and press F8 to delete them.
