Need to removed all the folders from f:\MP3 that have <2mb in them... manual = impossible, 15,000+ folders $:-\$

any pos free software to do this for me or suggestions on a batch file? fucking hate windows 7 for being so sweet yet not allowing folder attribute sort...

I know it's possible, just not sure what program to use.

If nobody here knows, ask here

there was a windows browser which was an alternative to windows explorer i used it before.. been looking for it but i cant find it..

it had a million ways to sort folders.. last accessed.. number of files.. size of files.. etc etc etc

sort files by size

jump to the middle where the split is

delete the whole lot

FAIL

i can write something in vb for it but we live in an age where coding your own is much harder than requesting a link to someone who has already done it

Sort by size, delete in batches.

jagojon3 · « **Reply #6 on:** October 23, 2009, 10:40:07 PM »

How are you going to sort folders by size?

this isnt the same one i used but the point is almost any windows explorer alternative works great..

this one is gay and wont let you delete more than one folder at a time and you cant even select more than one folder at a time nor can you drag and drop folders into one another to delete them once they are in one folder..

gay gay gay

im trying to find the other one but yeah i installed this one and used it before i posted it

if im not mistaken, windows 7 includes the power shell. the powershell has options that are basically like linux.

so.... way beyond your ability homie.

In this thread buk bends over backwards to lick Yuriy's nuts, and Yuriy doesn't so much as acknowledge him.

Classic.

uhh remember deleting files is semi permanent.

this is not recursive, only top level directories.

Is that written in C++?

Not a coder by any means but the structure looks familiar to what I worked with in the one programming class I had to take.

Just curious.

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #24 on:** October 24, 2009, 11:52:13 PM »

In this thread buk accuses me of straddling a fence just because I don't find anything in the thread interesting enough to comment on, and furthermore I don't care about his and Yuriy's lover spat.

Then he deletes his account.
