What is Intelligent Delete and Cleaning
Folders?
 FileBoss's, Intelligent
Delete deletes
all files (or the files that match the optional file patterns) in a
folder and all subfolders.
If it finds files that can't be deleted it still continues
to delete all the rest(unlike Windows Explorer and other file managers.)
For example
it might be used to remove backup or intermediate files that aren't
needed any more.
You can easily specify multiple patterns by
separating them with semi-colons or the bar character, e.g. *.bak;
*.tmp; ~*.*.
In addition - and as an option - FileBoss can
remove any folders that are empty after the cleaning process has
completed.
How to Clean Folders
 Cleaning folders is a simple process of
select, specify a few simple options and the let FileBoss do the
work.

the folders you want to clean in the List window

(the left-hand window).
- Use
the Actions | Clean Folders...
command from the main menu.
- Fill
in any optional patterns, select the appropriate
options and click OK
Deleting vs. Recycling
The Windows Recycle Bin was not designed for
and is not efficient when handling large numbers of files (as in
hundreds). If the Recycle option is used when many files will be
delete your computer down significantly and take a long
time to finish.
