I have a list of files including their location in a .txt like the following: \SERVER01\backupsFolder\xx\a\ss.bak \SERVER01\backupsFolder\xx\a\ss.bak \SERVER02\backupsFolder\yy\b\dd.bak \SERVER02\backupsFolder\yy\b\dd.bak How do I delete everything else recursively starting from the 'backupsFolder' folder for example, and also output all the deleted files? kunal I think this should help. Script: $TargetFolder = “Pathofyourfolder” $Files = Get-ChildItem $TargetFolder -Exclude (gc List.txt) -Recurse foreach ($File in $Files) { write-host “Deleting File $File” -foregroundcolor “Red”; Remove-Item

I have a single threaded program (C++, Win32, NTFS) which first creates a quite long temporary file, closes it, opens for read, reads, closes again and tries to delete using DeleteFile() . Usually it goes smoothly, but sometimes DeleteFile( ) fails, and GetLastError() returns ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED. File is not read-only for sure. It happens on files on any size, but the probability grows with the file size. Any ideas what may be locking the file? I tried WinInternals tools to check and found nothing suspicious. Snazzer Windows is notorious for this issue. SQLite handles the problem by retrying

At some stage in the past I had a "foo.txt" which was under Mercurial source control. However it has now been deleted. How can I recover the file when I don't know the last Mercurial revision in which the file was deleted? If you know the exact path for the file, you can do something like : hg log -l 1 path/to/foo.txt This will show you the last changeset where foo.txt was modified, so you will be able to restore the file from this revision. Once you have the right revision, you can simply do : hg revert -r <my revision> path/to/foo.txt hg commit -m "add the foo.txt file again" Using revsets:

Can anyone write a shell script that deletes all the files in the folder except those with pdf extension? This will include all subdirectories: find . -type f ! -iname '*.pdf' -delete This will act only in the current directory: find . -maxdepth 1 -type f ! -iname '*.pdf' -delete $ ls -1 | grep -v '.pdf$' | xargs -I {} rm -i {} Or, if you are confident: $ ls -1 | grep -v '.pdf$' | xargs -I {} rm {} Or, the bulletproof version: $ find . -maxdepth 1 -type f ! -iname '*.pdf' -delete This should do the trick: shopt -s extglob rm !(*.pdf) ls | grep -v '.pdf$' | xargs rm This will filter all files

In a project I am doing I want to give users the option of 'securely' deleting a file - as in, overwriting it with random bits or 0's. Is there an easy-ish way of doing this in C#.NET? And how effective would it be? You could invoke sysinternals SDelete to do this for you. This uses the defragmentation API to handle all those tricky edge cases. Using the defragmentation API, SDelete can determine precisely which clusters on a disk are occupied by data belonging to compressed, sparse and encrypted files. If you want to repackage that logic in a more convenient form, the API is described here .

So if I go into my selected save folder for my projects and delete my project it no longer shows up in Xcode. However I can still find some other files if I look under my user name/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData.

So I want to delete this file from source code (before compiling). But I noticed that it also contains the .NET version information.
