The How to delete frame


In this frame you can select in which way CloneSpy will handle a targeted file according to the selection made in the Action frame in the Main window. The options are:
  • Delete to recycle bin: All files that are to be deleted are moved to the recycle bin.


  • Really delete: Files are actually removed from the system and therefore they will not appear in the recycle bin.


  • Move to folder: This selection gives you the option to move files to a specific folder instead of deleting them outright. The folder to which a targeted file is to be moved can be specified in the Move to folder frame.


Notes:
  • If you choose the first option, make sure that the recycle bin on your system is enabled. Otherwise the files will be deleted immediately. Note that if you are working on a Windows XP system, (de)activation of the recycle bin may be a matter for the System Administrator rather than individual users. In any case it is recommended to test whether CloneSpy can delete files to the recycle bin before scanning sensible data.


  • If a confirmation window appears when using the Move to folder option, the confirmation relates to the moving rather than the full deletion of the file.
