Is there a way to use the "Include" feature so it deletes files with a non-extension wildcard? For example, all files in a directory that starts with Foo. So C:\example|Foo*
I have a file that is created weekly with a slightly different filename each time (Foo1201, Foo1202, Foo1203, etc.) and it doesn't have an extension, so I can't choose a specific file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Yes, do as in this thread http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=25500&hl=
Just enter the file name as foo*.*
As usual, test first, I don't guarantee anything.

Finally got a chance to try this. Entering the file nas as foo*.* doesn't work. I think it's because the file(s) I'm trying to delete do not have a file extension. and file* doesn't work either ....
Hmm. It worked when I tested it, with or without a file extension. The actual entry I used to test was C:\Documents and Settings\Me\My Documents\New Folder\xxx*.*
It worked with varying file names beginning with xxx
Just in case it's been overlooked, you will need to check the "Custom Files And Folders" box in "CCleaner\Windows\Advanced" for any "Include" to work.
Finally got a chance to try this, and it's still not working. I wonder if it's because my files have no extension? My other custom file/directories delete just fine ...

Wildcards are still not working.
I tried '*.backup', '*.dll', 'pro*.*'
Nothing happens, but 'myfile.backup' does work, so the right options are set...
When I did it only the files in directory specified as C:\stuff\*.bak were deleted. It did not search for the files in C:\stuff\today or any of the C:\stuff\ subdirectories. How can you make
it clean out the sub directories as well?
