Selecting a list of folders and removing all ".bak", ".err", ".xlg" & "plot.log" files from folders & sub folders

[stephen.coff]

Guys,
Is it possible to be able to select multiple folders in a drive and have all ".bak", ".err", ".xlg" & "plot.log" files removed from not only those files but also any sub folders using lisp ?
Does anyone have anything like this they would share ?

Hi,

This one doesn't allow to select multiple folders at once, but it clean up all the sub folders of the specified one.

;| GetFolders
;;; Returns the list of all sub folders of the specified folder or drive (path)

I run the following batch file nightly using scheduler to delete unwanted files prior to our scheduled tape backup.

del F:\*.gid /s /q /f
del F:\*.bak /s /q /f
del F:\*.dmp /s /q /f
del F:\*.bp3 /s /q /f
del F:\*.sv$ /s /q /f
del F:\*.err /s /q /f
del F:\*.bk1 /s /q /f

Here's a more convivial version, using dialog boxes

I run the following batch file nightly using scheduler to delete unwanted files prior to our scheduled tape backup.

del F:\*.gid /s /q /f
del F:\*.bak /s /q /f
del F:\*.dmp /s /q /f
del F:\*.bp3 /s /q /f
del F:\*.sv$ /s /q /f
del F:\*.err /s /q /f
del F:\*.bk1 /s /q /f

Thanks for the batch routine. I had one for creating a text file to show our *plt files.

If you want a list you can change it to:
Dir F:\*.gid *.bak *.dmp *.bp3 *.sv$ *.err *.bk1 /s /q > F_Drive_Junk.txt
