batch-deletion

Delete files🗃 in one go with same extension/filetype. Node version

Have you encounterd a situation where you have to select multiple files📁 with same filetype/extension to delete them, I have

when deleting multiple .srt files from my directory.

‍Prerequisites

node js

🔮 Usage

> npm install -g batch-deletion-node-version

> bd --filetype --path

It is ❗important❗ to specify the file type or extension.

--filetype or -ft

It is optional to specify the path, by default it will take current working directory.

--path or -p

🪜 Example

> bd --filetype txt

or

> bd -ft txt

✖️ Multiple file type arguments

You can pass multiple filetypes at sametime

> bd -ft txt java cpp

🚶‍♀️ Walk through subdirectories.

Suppose you want to delete file.txt from each directory inside the current directory. you have to pass flag -sd or --subdir as true. By default the flag is false so it wont delete files from sub-directories.

Current Directory
 └─> test
     ├── file.txt
     └─> first folder
         ├── file.txt
         └─> second folder
             ├── file.txt
             └── test.java

C:\Current Directory> bd -sd -ft md

This will delete all file's with extension as .md from given directory📂 and it's subdirectories🗃.
