Hi again!

I start a new thread here following up my post from the bug section http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=24611
I finally figured, that I was mixing up two different things. One was a bug concerning recursively searching for files (which was partly but not quite fixed in v2.25, see http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=24944), the other thing was searching for folders. I was fooled by the |REMOVESELF option, thinking this was in order to search for a folder recursively and then remove it. But REMOVESELF is somehow misleading. It rather searches for file(s) recursively, and when found the file(s) are deleted and if that folder is then empty the folder is removed too.

However, I see no way to search for a specific foldername (preferably recursively) and remove all of them. So this would be an entirely new feature.

I know a couple of applications leaving some nasty temp-folders in the middle of my data partition, and you never know exactly where. Maybe in addition to FileKey and RegKey a new FolderKey could be implemented?

What are the thoughts of the Devs about this? Please let me know!

Thanks,
Mike

Is nobody else lacking this feature? To me, removing folders is just as essential as removing files.

I'd really like to know people's opinion on that. huh.gif
