Software to delete all files above a certain size in several subfolders
 

I need to delete all files above a certain size in 350 subfolders and I don´t want to do it manually.

Anyone know of any software that can do that ?

find . -size +2048k -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f

You can use the -exec flag to find also, I'm assuming your on some unix like device.

Replace 2048k with whatever size you want.
That'll be $243 :Graucho

Just wired $243 to you. :)

It´s on my own Windows PC, not on a server. Anyone else ?

oh man....

Press F3


Search for files over a given filesize....
It's only been in Windows since 95.

I Know, that problem is that I have 42K out of appr. 50K files that needs to be deleted. A list that long simply slows that computer down so much that it´s faster to just go do it manually. I have already tried this, but thanks anyway....

Sounds like you need more ram.

Windows Scripting Host can probably handle it.

Could write a perl script to do it if you have ActivePerl.

If it's that much work I'm guessing you'd probably be better off
waiting for your computer to display the search.
