msdos pro's in here
 

I need to remove all .html files which are located in hundreds of subdirectories. I tried doing this by hand but it's 71.000 files total and the trash bin can't handle it. So I want to do this in MS DOS, but I don't know the right command.

Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance :thumbsup

It's been a long time and depends on Version.

at the c:\ delete /*.html

Thanks, but I just found the solution :)

It was: del /s /q path*.html (I'm using Vista)

Ahh Dos.. the good ol'days..

been so long it took me a few minutes to remember what msdos was

Damn everybody is always picking on baddog :(

install Total Commander
go to folder
do ALT+F7
in search for enter *.html
when it all loads up press Feed to list box
when it's all in one place do CTRL+A and then SHIFT+DELETE

and you're done without sending them to recycle bin...

format c:
