DCU - Disk CleanUp is a utility program to delete unwanted files
from your disk, and optionally call your favorite backup and
defragmenter programs.
USAGE DCU [options]
If no options are specified, the default settings are used.
The default drive is the current drive. The backup and
defragmenter program command lines may be changed only by
use of the set defaults option.
Options are :
Dx set target drive to drive x.
B+ to run backup, B- to skip backup.
F+ to run defragmenter, F- to skip defragmenter.
K+ to delete *.BAK files, K- to leave them.
Q+ to delete *.BAQ files, Q- to leave them.
Z+ to delete zero length files, Z- to leave them.
$+ to delete *.$$$ files, $- to leave them.
T+ to delete *.TMP files, T- to leave them.
S allow setting of new default values.
The backup and defragmenter command strings are entered into
the program as you would type them in at the DOS prompt. When
you need to pass the name of the drive to backup or defragment
you may enter DRIVE, and the program will substitute the correct
drive letter for you.
EXAMPLE: c:\dos\backup DISK\ a: /s
The above example would be equivalent to entering :
c:\dos\backup C:\ a: /s
if you were running DCU for the C drive, or entering :
c:\dos\backup D:\ a: /s
if you were running DCU for the D drive.
If you choose to run a disk defragmenting program, it is done
after the backup, in order to protect your data. If you desire
not to backup the drive first, you are asked if you are sure
you do want to do this.
Default settings are stored in the file DEFAULTS.DCU, which will
be created if it does not exist.
