Command file to delete files

[Karl_T]

I'm looking to make a computer command file that will search your whole computer in all folders for these files and delete them. See the attached for the file list.

Any suggestions on how to do this? I end up doing this task a couple times a year and there must be a way to automate it.

If camclean.bat is in your path you can do something like
this:

%1:
cd\
del /s DMC32.DLL
del /s DMCBUS32.DLL
del /s DMCGC32.DLL
del /s DMCNET.EXE
del /s DMCNET.TLB
del /s DMCPAR32.DLL
del /s DMCREG.OCA
del /s DMCREG.OCX
del /s DMCSER32.DLL
del /s DMCSHELL.OCX
del /s GLWDMISA.INF
del /s GLWDMISA.SYS
del /s GLWDMPCI.INF
del /s GLWDMPCI.SYS
pause
exit

Then start the command with something like "camclean g".
This would switch to drive D:, go to the root directory and
then run your list of commands, pause to see what happened
and then close the prompt window hitting any key. Remove the
"exit" if you want the window to stay open for more use.

If you forget to feed it a drive letter it will just do the
current drive where the batch file is located.

I've got some other ideas, but I haven't tested them yet.
The problem with batch files is getting user input into
them. Locating the old Choice.exe and using it can work with
multiple choice questions, otherwise it gets messy.

Here is one solution I came up with, but you will need to
get a copy of Choice.exe and put it in your path somewhere
(you might already have a copy). This program used to come
with older versions of DOS, only comes with the Resource
kits now. You can get several versions in a bundle here:

Change your batch file to the following text in between the
equal signs:

===
@ECHO OFF
choice /Ccdefgh0 Choose drive letter to clean or 0 to abort
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 SET ERRORLEV=c
IF ERRORLEVEL 2 SET ERRORLEV=d
IF ERRORLEVEL 3 SET ERRORLEV=e
IF ERRORLEVEL 4 SET ERRORLEV=f
IF ERRORLEVEL 5 SET ERRORLEV=g
IF ERRORLEVEL 6 SET ERRORLEV=h
IF ERRORLEVEL 7 GOTO END

%ERRORLEV%:
cd\
del /s DMC32.DLL
del /s DMCBUS32.DLL
del /s DMCGC32.DLL
del /s DMCNET.EXE
del /s DMCNET.TLB
del /s DMCPAR32.DLL
del /s DMCREG.OCA
del /s DMCREG.OCX
del /s DMCSER32.DLL
del /s DMCSHELL.OCX
del /s GLWDMISA.INF
del /s GLWDMISA.SYS
del /s GLWDMPCI.INF
del /s GLWDMPCI.SYS
pause

:END
exit
===

You could edit/add a couple more drive letters if you wish.
I think the code is pretty self explanatory. You can get a
list of parameters for Choice by entering "Choice /?" at a
command prompt. It is a really simple little program.

See if that does what you want.
