This allows you to search an entire hard disk for all files matching the search mask "*.BAK", for example. All files matching the mask are placed into a window for either block deletion of all listed files, or selective deletion. For example, using Clean Sweep, you can delete all *.BAK files on your hard disk in seconds. You can also search for and list all *.DOC files, then mark and selectively delete only those you want. With Clean Sweep, you can even find and delete hidden and system files. This makes it convenient to delete all the tagged files created with many virus checking utilities. Those utilities often create hidden files for every *.COM, *.EXE, and *.SYS file on your hard disk. Hundreds of hidden files can be scattered all over your hard disk, and if you decide to delete them, you must use a utility that will find them, and then erase them one at a time. Clean Sweep will do it in seconds. USING CLEAN SWEEP 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴- First, read the admonitions in the CAUTION and DISCLOSURE sections below. Resposibility for management of this software lies exclusively in the hands of the user. If you have any doubt about how to use this or any other program, then avoid the pro- gram in question. Next, add Clean Sweep to your Windows file launching utility by running the file CLN.EXE from DOS. Be sure you run it from DOS command line first to unpack the windows program CLEAN.EXE from the self extracting program CLN.EXE. You can use the dos shell from Windows Main if you like. Then add the program CLEAN.EXE to your Windows program launcher. If you use Program Manager, pull down File and select New. Select Browse and select the directory where you placed CLEAN.EXE. Choose CLEAN.EXE and then OK. After adding Clean Sweep to your program launcher, double click on the Clean Sweep icon to run the program. To search for files other than *. BAK examples, modify the search mask to reflect the files you want to delete. The default search mask is *.BAK. The default search drive is the current drive. To search a drive other than the default, select another drive. Click on Begin File Search button to begin the search. If any matching files are found they are listed in the Listing Of Files Found window. Press Cancel to abort the search process while it is in progress. To delete all files listed in the Listing Of Files Found window, click on Delete Files Found button and select Delete All Files Found. To delete selected files only, hold down the con- trol key continuously, and click once on each of the files you wish to delete with your mouse. Then click on the Delete Files Found button, and select Delete Only Selected Files. To delete hidden files created with virus checking util- ities, determine the file extension used by the virus utility. Some virus utilities underscore the first letter of the file extension for all *.COM, *.EXE, and *.SYS files on your hard disk. They use the extention ._OM, for example, to tag each *.COM file. Others might use the extension .~OM, or another variation. With DOS 5.x you can use the dos command DIR /AH to view hidden files in any given directory. Once you determine the tag pattern, set the Search Mask to reflect it for tagged *.COM files (*._OM for example) and perform a search. Repeat this process for *.EXE, and *.SYS files. CAUTION! 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴- Clean Sweep will NOT allow the Search Mask *.*, or a blank Search Mask field. This protects against deleting all files in every directory on a hard disk. HOWEVER, since Clean Sweep finds hidden and system files, many important files can be accidentally deleted. So BE CAREFUL using this utility! It's up to you to use Clean Sweep wisely and carefully. If you have any doubts about the importance of any files found, cancel the deletion process. Once again, TAKE CARE DELETING FILES, especially those with the extensions *.EXE, *.COM, and *.SYS.
