- CLEANUP is a quick utility to search a disk's file tree and identify those
- tiny little mistake files of 0, 1, or 2 bytes that most of us have littered
- around. Each file found may be erased at your option.
-
- Did you realize that those 1 and 2 byte files are really taking up a minimum
- of two clusters, usually 2048 bytes, and perhaps up to eight clusters if
- you're using an early DOS?
-
- CLEANUP looks at everything: Hidden, ReadOnly, and System directories and
- files. Directories and files with those attributes will be identified as
- such. Use caution in erasing files you do not recognize. They may be part
- of a copy protection or validation scheme.
-
- Just run CLEANUP from the DOS prompt, optionally designating the drive to
- search:
-
- C>cleanup d:
-
- If you're fastidious enough that you want to run CLEANUP from AUTOEXEC.BAT
- regularly, put a '/g' switch as a second command line parameter. That tells
- the program to go on without waiting for a key press at completion. You
- still will be prompted for any erasures.
-
- cleanup c: /g
