- Reset Filters: Void changes made to the deletion filters list.
- Default Filters: Set the deletion filters list back to factory settings.
TIPS
- You can drag and drop folders onto the "Folder to operate on" text field.
- You can create a Deletor shortcut on the desktop, and drop folders into it.
- Press the Control key to interrupt lengthy operations.
- The factory filters correspond to intermediate files created by Microsoft Visual C++. If you do not use this product, delete these filters and add your own.
EXAMPLE
You use a product that creates temporary or transient files that clutter your disks, and would like to purge them:
1- Add filters corresponding to the file extensions of such files.
2- From Explorer, drag the folder you want to purge, and drop it onto the "Folder to operate on" text box.
3- Press the "Preview" button and review the results of the operation in the log window. You can use this to be absolutely sure of what you are doing or to determine the amount of disk space that will be saved.
4- Press the "Delete Files" button to delete the targeted files.
WARNINGS
- As with any application that deletes files, please be careful and make sure that you are specifying exactly the right files before pressing the "Delete Files" button.
- Sometimes, different applications may use the same file extension for their files. Make sure you are aware of this before deleting files.
