I did some testing with the "IF" command and it doesn't work like the /f /a /s /q switches.

When I made 6 .txt files in separte areas, it only deleted them from the desktop.

When I used the /f /a /s /q it deleted them from all locations. Using "IF" seems to delete the files faster but /f /a /s /q searches the whole harddrive which takes longer.

So do you have a faster method? I want to keep file locations down to a minimum. I'd have tp specify file locations with the "IF" command
