DELS Description
The task of selectively deleting files from a certain directory is difficult to achieve and performing it manually can take considerable time. DELS is an application that was created to help users delete the specified files of a directory or its respective subdirectories. It will allow them to use the command prompt in order to specify which files to be deleted and from which directories.
Useful hints offered inside the command line interface that will help users select the files that need to be deleted
Featuring no installation process and being lightweight, the application is deployed as a command line utility. Users will be able to run it by writing its executable name and pressing the Enter key in the command line interface.
Once the application is enabled, it will provide people with a list of hints in the command line interface that are meant to help them select the files required for deletion. However, novice users might struggle at first and are advised to learn some basic command line functionality.
Delete multiple files simultaneously from selected directories with this application that offers command line switches
After deciding on the required directory and subdirectories that contain the preferred files, users will be able to select which files need to be deleted by using the on-screen switches provided by the application. They will be able to define which file extensions to be considered, their age or their directories / subdirectories.
For each deletion process, users can select a different application behavior. They can choose not to list all the files as they are deleted or not to enter the directories recursively. Furthermore, DELS also provides a testing command, which allows them to first verify their file selection.
Convenient utility for deleting multiple files from certain designated directories, but with difficult handling for novice users
Experienced users who seek an effective solution for deleting multiple files selectively, from specific directories and their respective subdirectories, could consider installing this application. It will allow them to increase the file deletion efficiency through command line switches and recursive action, therefore automating their workflow. Nevertheless, novice users might require some prior knowledge of command line handling.
