Introduction CDEL is used to delete mis-placed files automatically. At first I wrote it because from time to time I extract a just-downloaded shareware package into the current directory and all files are mixed up. It can also be used to clean up mis-copied files. Usage For example: You extract CDEL.ZIP into C:\, there are other important files like AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS. Now, you may extract the archive into a new subdirectory like C:\NEWTOOL, then execute CDEL.EXE: C:\>C:\NEWTOOL\CDEL C:\NEWTOOL to clean C:\. (In this example, file both in C:\ and C:\NEWTOOL will be deleted.) IMPORTANT: CDEL will ONLY delete files in CURRENT directory! So you must execute it in the directory you want to clean. It is a good idea to put CDEL into your PATH directory. CDEL also support "DIR-style" filelist. All files in filelist and appear in current directory will be deleted. Note that only "DIR-style" filelist can be used. That is: only one file per line and filename listed first. Windows 95 and Windows NT style DIR list are not supported in this version. Commandline Parameters: Format: CDEL [/D /N /P /Q /X] file file: comparative directory or filelist to delete. /D: Delete different files. Maybe used to synchronize two directories. /N: Do nothing, just see what will happen. /P: Prompt before delete. /Q: Quiet, do not display filenames while deleting. /X: Do not verify. Without this parameter, CDEL will check file size and time stamps to ensure the files are same. Note that if you use "filelist", CDEL will NOT do any verify even without /X. /?: Display help message.
