    Deleting the number of files WE want to delete


    Since Windows was created after DOS 1.0, I have been able to select multiple files I wanted to delete without restriction. Recently it doesn't and restricts me to THREE [3] files at a time. Why? Is there a way to bypass this restriction and get Windows to do what I WANT it to do?

    :)

    Only write one number to log file and delete old ones?

    Hey,

    I'm trying to have some software read from a .text file a number (GPU Temp) but the software will only the first number in a list (Or the first anything)

    Is there a way to have to log file delete the previous entries and write the new number in it's place without any headers?


    EDIT:

    Sorry I'll try again.

    I have some webcam software that can read a number (or whatever) from a text file and then it displays the number as an overlay.

    See here: http://10.244.193.13:8081/

    I was trying to use GPU-z to do this but as it logs as a list the webcam software can't update properly (also it reads the headings of the file and displays them instead)

    Is there anyway to alter the logging to only output just the number (GPU Temp) and to delete the old numbers so the new value is the only value in the file.

    Deleting the number of files WE want to delete

    Delete VS Format

    When you delete a file, the OS has to do a number of checks and remove or modify a number of things for each file that is being deleted. This could be thousands of files.
    When you format it just whacks everything.

    AsRock is right, if you don't care about the check, just QF and move one.
