Recursively delete files from a folder in Windows
Note:
This post was written in 2011 and discusses technology that may be outdated.
The concepts may still be relevant, but specific tools/versions have changed.
This is something one might need to do regularly. I need to because wget often creates multiple index.html@* files despite being set up not to (my GUI for wget might forget configs.. who knows?)
I’m left with a couple of hundred folders with 6 html files each which to me is quite irritating. So here’s a simple command to delete files in Windows recursively.
del /S index.html@*
**Change the “index.html@*” part to anything else you might want. Obviously, wild cards are valid. Have fun and be careful! :)
