Deleting All Files Starting with a Tilde

Be careful with this!

You can delete all files meeting a certain criteria or pattern. For example, if you wanted to delete all files on your computer starting with a tilde:

del /s /q “~*.*”

 

You could have as easily done:

del /s /q “*.tmp”
del /s /q “*.cmd”
del /s /q “5*.*”
del /s /q “my*.*”
del /s /q “*.docx*”

del /s /q — the /s is cycle through subdirectories and the /q is quiet mode

Moving My Documents to a subfolder

The For command will cycle the the My Documents folder performing the robocopy command on each item. FOR conditionally performs any command or a specified sequence of commands multiple times.

for /d %%Y in (Sta??) do (for /f “usebackq tokens=*” %%U in (‘dir /b /ad “%%~Y\*”‘) do (robocopy.exe “%%~Y\%%~U” “%%~Y\%%~U\Documents” /e /move /xd “Documents”))

The copytoallprofiles_7.vbs script – cycles through profiles to copy custom settings

If the iTunesPrefs.xml isn’t working for you, take a look at com.apple.iTunes.plist. Apple loves to sneak in new ways of storing configs.
