Overview:

This software frees up a disk space by removing files older than specified number of days. It supports UNC paths and large files. Further versions will support more options.

Prerequisites:

.NET framework 3.5
FileDestroyer.exe

Configuration:

Software requires 3 parameters

- scan <directory_path_to_scan>

- ext <file_extension_to_search_for>

- log <directory_path_where_to_save_logs>

-days <number_of_days>

Examples:

FileDestroyer.exe -scan “D:\SQLBackup” -ext bak -log “D:\Logs\” –days 2

This command removes all files with extension bak that are found in directory D:\SQLBackup that are older than 2 days

To execute over the network use:

\\svdapp62\Tools\FileDestroyer.exe -scan “\\svdapp62\SQLBackup” -ext bak -log  \\svdapp62\Logs -days 0

Here option –days 0 removes all *.bak files.
