ZDELETE WIZARD

This chapter describes the functions of the ZDelete Wizard.

Overview ZDelete

ZDelete Wizard is designed to help configure a custom item-removal profile for Auto-Cleaner, Disk Wiper and utility options. Also select custom items for removal.

The Auto-Cleaner profile is the set of items (files, patterns, drives) chosen for cleaning when ZDelete Auto-Cleaner is run. Auto-Cleaner has three sections:

System Folders
Custom Items
Disk Wiper

For more information on items, see description in Step 2, below.

ZDelete Options define common behaviors for the utility to use in all situations; for example when a command is given, you might prefer to include a confirmation screen, or to engage the command immediately without confirmation.

What ZDelete Removes

ZDelete removes specified files and folders and files and folders indicated using patterns. To make for more concise documentation, all these elements will be referred to as items. Some examples of items as Files or as Patterns are given below.

Item as File

A File is an operating system file, as defined by an absolute or a relative path.

Table 2-1 Examples of File Items

Name	Description
DOCUMENT.DOC	Without a path, indicating it is located in current directory.
C:\TEMP\DOCUMENT.DOC	Located by absolute path from the root of drive C:
\TEMP\DOCUMENT.DOC	Located by relative path (a subfolder of the current folder).

Item as Pattern

A Pattern is a set of symbols - including system symbols - that define a system pattern (or template) for files to be selected. The Pattern can include a folder name as prefix.

Microsoft Windows system symbols for pattern-type file search include:

Asterisk (*) - Indicates zero or any number of any characters.
Question Mark (?) - Indicates any single character.

Table 2-2 Examples of Pattern Items

Name	Description
C:\MY FOLDER\*	Indicates all files and folders located in location C:\MY FOLDER.
*.DOC	Indicates all files with DOC extension located in current directory.
C:\TEMP\*.DOC	Indicates all files with DOC extension in location C:\TEMP.
C:\Program Files\New Folder\*	All files located by absolute path, relative to root of drive C:
\TEMP\.	All files located by relative path (\TEMP as a subfolder of current folder).
