Under the Windows operating system, a search string can represent a full or partial
filename. A search string can contain any alphanumeric symbols, including comma, *
and ? symbols, and can have values similar to the following:
• *.* – to delete all files from the Recycle Bin – with any file names and
extensions
• *.doc – to delete files with specific extension – a Microsoft document file in
this case
• read*.* – to delete all files with any extensions, and names beginning with
«read»
• read?.* – to delete all files having five-letter names and any extensions,
names beginning with «read»; the fifth letter is random
• The last search string, for example, will result in removal of read1.txt,
ready.doc files, but readyness.txt will remain with its longer name
(excluding the extension)
You can enter several different search strings separated by a semicolon; for
example:
*.bak; *.tmp; *.~~~;
. . . and so on. All files with names corresponding to at least one of the search
strings will be deleted.
Attention! The length of a search string with full or partial filenames is almost infinite!
You can enter any number of filenames or their parts like
a semicolon.
The «Files» setting has five system components to clean: Recycle Bin,
Temporary Files, Custom Folders/Files, Find Files List and Recently Used
Documents List.
