Is US v3.10 able to delete files by extension?

Postby mosca » Sat Oct 06, 2007 7:47 am

I've got a folder in which from time to time I need to delete files by same extension only.
I tried to create a profile using US wizard putting in Specify File field of Any File section something like this C:\MyFold\*bk.bji. and I added file to the list so that C:\MyFold\*bk.bji. appear on the list.

However when I execute UE profile I created as explained above in UltraSentry Auto- Cleaner Progress window it appears that the delete action of C:\MyFold\*bk.bji. is incomplete.

Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot

Sorry, but wildcards can't be used. Every file must be specified with full name. I also want a deletion with wildcards and already sent a feature request email to IDM support months ago. But maybe IDM thinks, it is too dangerous.
