Quickly and easily remove all .s# and .b# files

autodeskguest
autodeskguest over 16 years ago

If you're anything like me, you sometimes want to get rid of the .s# and

.b# files because you have completed something and don't need them

anymore or have an extensive backup system, or whatever. Here's a simple

batch file script I created with the help of a forgotten site that will

remove all of them from all directories. It's recursive, so I place the

batch file in my projects directory and run it on occasion.

 

Copy and paste this into a file named remove_s#_b#.bat:

FOR /F "tokens=*" %%G IN ('DIR /B /A-D /S .s#') DO del "%%G"

FOR /F "tokens=*" %%G IN ('DIR /B /A-D /S .b#') DO del "%%G"

    I don't see the advantage over the simpler and more obvious:del .s# .b#

    /q /sI use the even simpler:del # /q /s

     

     

    It's only obvious if you know about it image

    I didn't realize that the del command had a recursive switch, and that

    method didn't come up in any of my google searches at the time...

     

    I learn something new all the time... Now if I can just remember it for

    next time image
