Nope and I don't think it's too hard to look up two commands in the help file for a 7 year long XY user, isn't it?

Are you talking about the feature: Flatten folder?
Configuration - General - Menus, Mouse, Safety, File List...
[x] Flatten Folder [folders only]

Right click on a folder, context menu...

flattenfolder work for folder but not for variuos files outside of folder!
and what is difference to flatten and wipe?

I have one script to delete all files into one folder; I want add wipe all folder to this

"wipe" $folders = 'C:\ProgramData\.............\Logs\';
$onlyFiles = True;
$files = Replace($files, ';', '|');
$folders = Replace($folders, ';', '|');
$list = '';
foreach ($folder, $folders, '|')
{
if ($folder == '') { continue; }
if (Exists($folder) == 2)
{
$list = $list . '|' . ListFolder($folder, '*', $onlyFiles, '|');
}
}
foreach ($file, $files, '|')
{
if ($file == '') { continue; }
if (Exists($file) == 1) {
// Add files to list.
$list = "$list|$file";
}
}
$list = FormatList($list, 'dents');
if ($list != '') {
Wipe $list;
}

No clue what you're talking about. Various files outside of a folder?
Flatten vs wipe? Flatten = Move all files from all subdirs in the root. Wipe = Delete files & folders without beyond recovery

Your "script"...

1. There are code tags
2. Too lazy to reformat it to make it at least readable (for whatever it's worth). Not my task to do...

One folder "folderA"
Into this folder, other sub-folders (with files inside) and others various files..
I want wipe all files and all sub-folders!

I don't want wipe folderA (and recreate it after)...
I want wipe all content of folderA! It is so difficult to understand??

I repeat: the script above delete all files contents into folderA, but not sub-folders...

That's exactly what I wrote in post 5, listfolder() + wipe^^

Code: Select all

    $folder = "<path to the folder which contents will be wiped>";
    wipe listfolder($folder);
