INTRODUCTION After working on your computer for a while, you will find there are so many junk files (such as *.bak, *.swp, *.obj, etc.) scattered all over directories on your drives. They are useless but costing your computer space. Did you ever wish for an easy way to delete those junk files? Now here is the tool which does it all for you. Pattern File List/Delete (PFLD) is a DOS utility which will make it easier for you to delete files you specified. INSTRUCTIONS PFLD is capable of searching for multiple drives as you specify. The specified drive must be valid name on the machine. Multiple drive names must be separated by spaces. If you do not specify the drives, PFLD will search for all drives available on your machine. File name pattern may consists of wide characters * and ? and valid letter required by DOS. Two options are available (see below). But only one option is allowed at a time. Lower and upper cases are interpreted as the same to the options.
