[Batch] Looking for one command to delete multiple files in a folder.

[Outbreaker]

HI

Is it possible to only delete same files in a folder with only one command line.

Exemple

DEL /Q "C:\test\folder\" file1.inf, file2.gif, file3.sys ...

Or:

DEL /Q "C:\test\folder\"

file1.inf

file2.gif

file3.sy

......

Or:

DEL /Q "C:\test\folder\" "a_list_of_filenames_for_deleting.txt"

I couldn't not find anything in goolge

Depends on the OS, but you should be able to run del /q /f <file list separated by spaces>. Note that if you do this, however, folders will NOT be deleted - rd must be used on directories/folders to delete them. However, this works just fine on files.

Yes but then the batch file must be also in the same folder where the files are. Like in the exemples i want to set a folder where the files are that should be deleted.

All you need to do then is navigate to the folder first!

CD /D X:\PathTo\FolderWithFilesIn
DEL file1.ext file4.ext file7.ext

THX Yes this does the job didnt think of this "cd" command and that it would work.

I also tried it by passing full paths in the file list, and it worked fine that way too.
