Removing duplicate files

What is a good way to remove files that I've just burned to a CD from my HD? I burn files in about 10 subdirectories to a CD.

Thanks,
Scott

Think the easiest way is to move those files to a separate temp directory ("ToBurn") before you start to burn a CD. You'll delete it's content after the job is done.

Code: Select all

del>C:\ToBurn\*.*

Otherwise you would be forced to do a comparison. If you prefer this method you should have a look at backup strategies (google for it), cause to burn something to a CD is mainly for backup reasons, isn't it?

Right. CD burned already.
So use deltree.
