Deletes files and folders even if you aren't allowed to #File eraser #Delete file #File remover #Eraser #Erase #Delete
xdel application was developed to to a small tool that will enable users to delete files and folders even if you aren't allowed to. It even supports wildcard expressions. This is essentially TAKEOWN, ICACLS, then RD or DEL in succession, however this is much more reliable and stronger.
DEL/RD fail to delete some files even if you have permisions and the file matching performed xdel is better, especially since TAKEOWN and ICACLS have broken wildcard pattern matching. Written in C. All command line arguments are treated as files, folders, or wildcard expressions to delete.
Wildcard expressions automatically recurse into subfolders. The program reports the total number of files deleted and their combined size. You must have administator privileges to delete protected files and you may need to elevate.
