I have dozens of thumbs.db files in a certain directory and theyre large. How can I delete them all in dos?

I dont want to have to fish through every subdirectory to find them in windows because there are hundreds, isn't it easy to do this in dos?

andi_germany · 08-21-2003, 10:11 AM

del *.db /s

or

del thumbs.db /s

in the parent directory

or if they are all in a subdirectory off a main folder, and you have no use for any of the subdirectories you can always use the deltree command
