I delete unwanted files by running a search and deleting the found files.
1. Press Start >> Search >> For Files or Folders >> All files and folders >> All or part of the file name. 2. Type *.backup.* in the text box. 3. Press Search. After finding all the files, highlight and delete them. That way, you find and delete them all, regardless of location. Repeat the procedure for each type of file to delete.

Open a command prompt by choosing Start > Run, type cmd.exe, and click OK. 2. In the command prompt, go to the directory you want to clean up using the cd command. 3. To delete backup and lock files, execute the commands: del *.backup.* del *.lck You can put these in a batch file and run that, too.

I kept a copy of the batch file code, but now that I want to use it, I can't find the instructions on how to use it. My manual has expanded and now it is becoming tedious to manually delete all those .backup files. Any help would be appreciated.
