I hung onto it. :-)

Run a DOS window from the directory you want to clean up and then run the following batch file. Copy the text to Notepad and save it as cleanfm.bat or whatever you want to call it. Save it to a directory in the path or add the directory to the path. I assume you know about paths. BTW, I've been using this .bat for at least 14 years and a general purpose one like it for 20 years. Never had either of them delete anything they weren't supposed to. @echo off echo. echo Deleting the following files from the current directory: dir *.backup.* *.lck echo. del *.backup.* *.lck You can also add *recover*.* to the list to delete recovery files after you save them to the original file names. If you have a tree of directories with archived files in them, I have a neat little utility called sweep.com that executes a .bat or an .exe in all of the directories in the tree. Free.
