Move or delete files

Dothehustle

I have a list of files with full pathname. And am looking to find out is there any tool or way of automating this either to move e the files or to delete them if possible

Probably you're not a linux user, but maybe windows have something similar to a shell (PowerShell??). Anyway, linux version would be:

for F in $(cat file_list_here) ; do  rm "$F" ; done

I think I do this in DOS. Command line etc. But I think I have to move them to the root directory.

I think you are referring to the Windows bug where it can't move or delete files with really long file names.

Super weird this bug exists.

Assuming you have a file at c:\dev\delete.txt with the files to be deleted like this:

C:\dev\test\a.txt
C:\dev\test\b.txt

Then open up Powershell and run:

get-content c:\dev\delete.txt | foreach-object {remove-item $_ -whatif}

That shows you a dry-run (what would be deleted). To actually delete the items, just remove "-whatif"
