So I recently recovered an entire hard drive which left me with a metric fuck ton of tiny files. It takes roughly 30 minutes for the folder to even open which means conventional deleting methods are out the window. After a bit of research I came up with a simple batch script that can be configured to delete files under a specific size. Here it is set to delete anything from the specified folder under 5Kb.

 

:: BATCH SCRIPT START
@ECHO OFF

:: Set following variable for file size in Bytes (1024 Bytes=1KB, 1024KB=1MB, 1024MB=1GB)
SET /A FileSize=5120

:: Set following variable for file extensions to check (*.* = all files)
SET Filter=*.*

:: Set following variable with path to check insided for files
SET Folder=G:\Billy

FOR /R "%Folder%" %%F IN (%Filter%) DO (
IF %%~zF LSS %FileSize% (
ECHO Deleting "%%F"
DEL /F "%%F"))
EXIT /B /0
:: BATCH SCRIPT END

That's beautiful. >w>

 

I used to know how to write some pretty complex batch but I forgot everything.

And why not throw in some bash for good measure...

 

$ find -type f -size -5k -delete

 

also, greater than 5k:

 

$ find -type f -size +5k -delete
