Finding files in certain folders

[nufu]

Hi all,

I have been clearing out our server of old folders and their contents, but now I need to be able to delete just the contents inside of folders that Everything finds.

Is it possible to get Everything to search for a folder (ie. named Temp), but just list the files in that folder, and not the folder itself? (usually just a jpg of tif)

Then hopefully I should be able to delete all the files that have been found whilst leaving the Main folder intact.

Thanks for any pointers!

If you want just the contents of a folder, you could add a "\" at the end of the foldername, like:

Code: Select all

c:\MyFolder\

If you also don't want to see subfolders in C:\MyFolder, try:

Code: Select all

file: c:\MyFolder

That way you get just the files.

If your foldername contains spaces, put the complete path between double quotes: file: "c:\My Folder"

Perfect, thanks!

If you also don't want to see subfolders

Search for files and folders in the specified path, excluding subfolders:
parent:<path>
infolder:<path>
nosubfolders:<path>
