BATCH FILE FOR DELETING BACKUPS?

[jwilhelm]

Is there a batch file available for deleting unwanted backup files?

[adegnan]

Yes, there is. I dont' have it available to upload and share right now but I'll post it ASAP, unless someone else does first. (Maybe the creator of it will again post?)

There is also a batch file for upgrading families and project files to the current version of Revit.

for convenience you can do it via "My Computer"

Open search in "My Computer" and type

*.0*.rvt for Project files or
*.0*.rfa for Family files or

*.0*.r** for both or them

save the search file on your desktop (or wherever)
by this you can even open a file before you delete it. (in case your not sure about the content of the file

alternatively, modify that string to read

*.0???.rvt

that way it will find only those files where the first suffix is 4 digits long. I have noticed some families that have been made with two suffixes. This way you will not get them (unless you are REALLY unlucky!). Not sure wheteher they were out of the box, or off the web, but do be careful.

Here it is. I had to zip it up as bat files aren't allowed?
