DELS is a simple command line utility that can be used to delete a set of files from a directory and all of its subdirectories.

Only one parameter is required: a specification of the files to be deleted. The specification can use the ? and * wildcards. Multiple specifications can be separated with a semi-colon.

Usage:

DELS [/nf] [/nologo] [/nr] [/ns] [/nw] [/q] [/test] filespec

Where filespec specifies the file(s) to be deleted.

Switches:
· /nf Don't list each file as it is deleted.
· /nologo Don't display the program banner.
· /nr Don't recursively enter subdirectories.
· /ns Don't display the operation summary.
· /nw Don't report warnings in the file specification.
· /q Suppress all output.
· /test Test only - no deleting.

Notes
· We are not responsible for damage caused by the use of this program, or any other program, even if it contains bugs. This is a powerful program with the ability to seriously screw up your computer.
· You may press the Escape key to abort the operation once it has started.
· When a file specification contains an absolute path, all subsequent file specifications will be relative to that path. Note that the example above depends on this.
· Deleted files are not moved to the Recycle Bin, they are permanently deleted.
