DELS.EXE - Recursive File Deletion Utility 
 
DELS.EXE will delete a set of files from a directory and all of its subdirectories.  Only one parameter is required:  a specification of the files to be deleted.  The specification can use the ? and * wildcards.  Multiple specifications can be separated with a semi-colon.

Switches:
/nf   Don't list each file as it is deleted. 
/nologo   Don't display the program banner. 
/ns   Don't display the operation summary. 
/nw   Don't report warnings in the file specification. 
/q   Suppress all output. 
/test   Test only - no deleting. 

For example, we use this to delete all of our object code files:


dels f:\projects\*.obj;*.sbr;*.res;*.bsc;*.pch
