Audio song delete using DOS command

 

Hi there Gabrielleriya,

 

Batch delete is a really simple thing to do using the Command Prompt, but still – it is NOT recommended unless you are 100% sure you know what you are doing. You haven't said what extensions are the files you'd like to remove, so I'll give you an adjustable example how to do a batch delete of all files with the same extension.

 

Click Start button on your Windows and in Run filed type CMD. Press enter and a console will pop out. By default you are placed in the root of your computer and since you'd like to delete all files in different locations that is a good place to stay.

 

The command to delete files is rm.

To say you'd like to remove all files, use *.

 

That means, if you are looking for mp3 files, your line should look like:

 

rm *.mp3 

 

Once again – keep in mind that using this line will delete EVERY file with the stated extension, including system files.
