.dcm files

I use ZTREE for that.

You can also go into CMD and delete it in DOS

with DEL *.dcm

So on dos, would you type DEL /E .dcm? they are on E drive

Type in HELP DEL and see the command line options

My DOS is also a bit rusted.

would you type DEL /E .dcm?
NO
DEL *.dcm

The 'star' * is a wildcard meaning any characters...
You'd have to specify the apropriate directory first too.
(I only chipped in here 'cos everyone was shouting DEL...)
Del

... or maybe

CD E:\

DEL /S *.dcm

... ?

For a little clarity, here's an example:

I searched for all .pdf files in My Documents. I included subfolders, hidden files and system folders (if any).

This is the result. It shows all the pdf files in every folder and subfolder in My Documents. If I had selected C:, I would have gotten every pdf file in my C: drive.

Thanks everyone

To do in handronically, open the folder in Windows Explorer, & click at the head of the "Type" column. The .dcm files will all be grouped together - it's then easy to select them all (using shift-click) & delete them.

Admittedly, you'd have to do all 150 folders individually, so a DOS batch type approach would be quicker.

there was a old dos program called sweep.com, I have used it in windows about 10 years ago, and it would go into all the directorys as well. You would add the dos command you would like.

syntac was: sweep del *.dcm

Regards.

Go find Win + F

In file or part of file type .dcm

go to Partition in which the files are.

press search

all the files will come-up in search pan

Ctrl + A all the files will be high-lighted

Shift + Delete

press yes

Have a good day

you need not have a SW for it

If you don't want to use the windows search dialog, could use the command line and ERASE with the proper semantics.

ERASE [/P] [/F] [/S] [/Q] [/A[[:]attributes]] names

names Specifies a list of one or more files or directories.
Wildcards may be used to delete multiple files. If a
directory is specified, all files within the directory
will be deleted.

/P Prompts for confirmation before deleting each file.
/F Force deleting of read-only files.
/S Delete specified files from all subdirectories.
/Q Quiet mode, do not ask if ok to delete on global wildcard
/A Selects files to delete based on attributes

So if you want to delete some files with a .dcm extension, simply cd.. to the root directory and go

C:\ ERASE *.DCM /S

Still, seems like it would be simpler to use the Search command window, however, if you don't have access to it for some reason and you DO have access to the command line, it can work for you as demonstrated.

For those who are too young to have used DOS... Directories = Folders.

Right?

Bill

Hey you are right, i took that for granted.

Those with no DOS knowledge may go WTF??

WTF mate? haha
