What am I doing wrong,why can't I exclude specific folder?

[vsub]

There is a folder called games and there is other folder in the directory where the games folder is
I type
switch\data\ !the folder name
This excludes any folder name I type but if I type games,Everything clears the whole list of results

Do you have Match Path enabled under the main Search menu?

-If so, is games found anywhere in the entire full path? -All files/folders will be excluded if games is found anywhere in the full path.

Please try the following search:
switch\data\ !nopath:games

Does this return the expected results?

no-path:



Please also consider the following search:

switch\data\ !switch\data\**\games\**

This might be useful if you are trying exclude a subpath (path contains a \), for example:

switch\data\ !switch\data\**\games\subfolder\**

[vsub]

Ah yes,the full path does include "games" and "switch" is a sub folder
This worked
switch\data\ !switch\data\games
thanks
