Searching Batch File

[Noxwizard]

How would I make a batch file that searches through my C:\ for a file, and when it finds it, it deletes it?

Try this site:

IF EXIST c:\filename del c:\filename

dusty's answer only works if you are seeking a file to delete in the root directory.

it will not delete a file in a subdirectory

I need one that searches through the C:\ and all of it's subdirectories.

Maybe try FIND ported (>) to a text file, then a for-in-do loop using that text file for its parms to run DEL, then delete the text file...

[Dusty]

Yeah - well - in my book when C:\ is mentioned it indicates the root directory....

No mention of the OS being used & I presume it is XP.

DEL FILENAME.EXT /S  will search all subdirectories & delete filename.ext in them.

I need it for Windows 2000 Professional
