Thread: Deleteing mutipule files

Since it's windows specific, you're only options are to either use system(); and build the string as needed, or find an API call that would suit your needs (I've never looked into this one, but I"m sure there's something out there for you).

To delete multiple files in a program? o_0

I don't think it goes any more complex than that.

What is this program for?
Cleanup, it's purpose is to delete Temps and Internet-Temp files.
And yes, I want to avoid using SYSTEM(); altogether.

lol. it's amazing how many functions u want are C-based. anyways, i've researched enough (and used for cleaning up, u nosy little paranoids) to know that it's really, REALLY simple, so listen up:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main ()
{

  if( remove( file ) == -1 ) {
    perror( "didn't work. gee. don't u feel annoyed....no really. u should see the look an your face..." );
  else
    puts( "all gone FOREVER!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!" );
  return 0;
} 

}

there's my simple ass way of doing it. as for multiple files, i'd reccomend storing the proper file data in an array, acees it through a for loop, and you should be just fine. i think i might have an idea to program it, but it's your problem and not mine

have fun with it. it's amazing powers can scare u to death though, so be careful.
and also, windows has it's own clean up thing in the control panel. just make sure u don't want to lose the games like solitaire, minesweeper, etc.

It's standard is what it is. May console forever live!

Yes, something tells me it will. I like DOS programs better myself, but the average XP user hardly knows how to run DOS! And this program happens to be for a relative, and this relative happens to be the average XP user!

How about this: Open IE. Click Tools->Internet Options->Delete Files
