Argument | Type | Possible values | Description |
---|
ALL | /S | (no value) | Example: |
EMPTYRECYCLE | /O | (no value) | Empty the system recycle bin. You can combine with the FORCE argument to suppress the confirmation prompt, and the QUIET argument to suppress the progress dialog. Example: |
<drive letter> | Empty the recycle bin for a specific drive. Example: |
ERASEEMPTYSPACE | /O | (no value) | Erase empty space on the current drive. Empty space will be overwritten with random data to ensure deleted files cannot be recovered. This can take a long time, and generally only makes sense with HDDs, not SSDs. (To secure-erase a single file (that hasn't been deleted yet) instead, see the SECURE argument instead.) Example: |
<drive letter> | Erase empty space on the specified drive. Must be the first parameter. Example: |
passes:<n> | Specifies the number of erase passes, from 1 to 32. If omitted, the previous number of passes will be remembered, and a single pass will be used if no previous number exists. Example: If both a drive letter and pass count are given, the drive letter must be the first parameter. Example: |
FAILNOTEMPTY | /S | (no value) | Fail when attempting to delete a non-empty folder, or any file. Must be combined with the NORECYCLE argument. Example: Use SKIPNOTEMPTY instead if you want the command to continue considering other items after encountering a file or non-empty folder. |
FILE | /M | <filename> ... | Specifies the name of the file or files to delete. If you don't provide this argument the command will delete all selected items in the source Lister. This is the default argument for the Delete command - you don't need to specify the FILE keyword. Example: |
FILTER | /O | (no value) | Example: |
<filter> | Example: |
shift | Delete with filtering enabled if the Shift key is held down. Opus will prompt you to define the filter. Example: |
alt | Delete with filtering enabled if the Alt key is held down. Example: |
ctrl | Delete with filtering enabled if the Ctrl key is held down. Example: |
FILTERDEF | /K/R | <filter> | This is a /R argument and so everything after the FILTERDEF keyword will be treated as the argument's value. Example: |
FORCE | /S | (no value) | Example: |
NOFROMFOCUS | /S | (no value) | The default behaviour for the Delete command is to operate on either the source file display, or the Folder Tree, depending on which one has the input focus. This lets you use the same command to delete folders in the tree as well as items in the file display. Specify this argument to force the command to always operate on the source file display and ignore the folder tree. Example: |
NORECYCLE | /S | (no value) | Example: |
QUIET | /S | (no value) | Prevent the display of any confirmation dialogs or error messages. Example: |
RECYCLE | /S | (no value) | Example: |
REMOVECOLLECTION | /O | (no value) | Remove selected files and folders from the file collection. If used outside of a file collection this command will do nothing. Example: |
auto | When used on files and folders in a file collection, the items will be removed from the collection. When used outside of a file collection, the items will be deleted as normal. Example: |
SECURE | /O | (no value) | Example: |
<passes> | Perform a secure delete using the specified number of passes (from 1 to 32 depending on your level of paranoia :) Example: |
SHIFT | /S | (no value) | Modifies the behaviour of the Delete command if the Shift key is held down.
Example: |
SKIPNOTEMPTY | /S | (no value) | Skip over non-empty folders, and all files, without deleting them, while still considering subsequent items for deletion. Must be combined with NORECYCLE. Example: Use FAILNOTEMPTY instead if you want the command to stop completely as soon as it encounters any file or non-empty folder. |
Delete all files and folders without prompting. This can be used to override the Ask for confirmation for each file before deleting and Ask for confirmation for each folder before deleting options on the page in Preferences.
If you only specify the filename instead of the full path of the file or files, Opus will look in the current source folder. You can also specify a . Remember that if the filename contains spaces you need to enclose it in quotes.
Delete with filtering enabled (without having to activate the in the Lister first). Opus will prompt you to define the filter.
Delete using the specified filter. This must have previously been created from the page in Preferences.
You can also directly specify a . When specifying a simple wildcard pattern as the filter, it only affects which files are deleted; all selected folders and sub-folders are deleted unless they contain a file which doesn't match the filter and thus isn't deleted.
Lets you define a filter in to only delete matching files from selected folders. This is similar to the FILTER argument, however the filter does not need to be predefined.
Force the deletion of any files that are marked as read-only (have the R attribute set). This overrides the Delete read-only files automatically (without asking) option on the page in Preferences.
Prevent the use of the recycle bin - files will be permanently deleted. This overrides the Delete to Recycle Bin where possible option on the page in Preferences.
Delete files by moving them to the recycle bin (if possible - not all drives support the recycle bin). Deletes to the recycle bin are not permanent - the files can be recovered until the bin is emptied. This overrides the Delete to Recycle Bin where possible option on the page in Preferences.
Perform a secure delete using the number of passes specified on the page in Preferences.
If the Delete to Recycle Bin option is selected on the page in Preferences, holding the Shift key down will disable the use of the recycle bin.
