question about folders
im running win xp and i wanted to delete some folders.
they all go like this \photoalbum1\ \photoalbum1\thumbnails \photoalbum2\ \photoalbum2\thumbnails i know in the command prompt you can delete multiple files with the del /s *.extention or tn_*.extention, etc. rd /s doesnt work with wildcards. i deleted all the files with the del /s command, all thats left are the empty folders. does anyone know of a way to delete multiple folders instead of opening up windows explorer and maually deleting them by hand? i want to get rid of all the thumbnails folder's in all the photoalbums folders.. theres about 100+ or so folders. i dont remember this being covered in any of my MSCE test's lol. i also cant find anything in the MSKB. i guess i could make a batch file.. but im too lazy right now lol. |
try the deltree command.
do deltree (folder name) |
deltree doesnt work in xp
|
damn, didnt know that.
why dont u copy the deltree file from a previous os and put it in the xp dos directory? seems a longshot, but might work. |
http://www.jpsoft.com install 4NT and stop using CMD
del "dirname" /sxqyz will delete *everything* and won't ask, its equiv to rm -rf on unix /s all subdirs /x remove all empty subdirs /q quiet, just do it /y say yes to all prompts /z zap all hidden and read only files use with caution :) del C:\ /sxqyz will wipe out most of your hard disk very quickly ;) if you use cmdline a lot its well woth getting 4NT its very powerful |
thanks for the info charliex. i really appreciate it.
