ABSTRACT:
A system and a method for locating and deleting computer files stored in a directory structure in a mass storage device. The method includes the steps of receiving an input and establishing a starting directory and a file search specification. The method further includes storing directory names corresponding to all directories of the directory structure in a directory array and storing file names corresponding to all files of the directory structure that meet the file search specification in a file delete array. Finally, the method includes deleting the files associated with the file names stored in the file delete array. The system may be configured by a computer readable memory to perform the method.
