DESCRIPTION

This application helps you keep your disks clean by deleting or 
shredding files corresponding to file name patterns or extensions 
that you specify. Deletor also has support for filter packs, 
which allow you to store sets of your most commonly used file 
deletion specifications. Combine this with the command line access 
to the program and you can easily automate the cleaning process 
with batch files, shortcuts, or a scheduler.
