Multiple delete folders

#1 Post by Timos » 2018-07-21 06:30

Hello ,
I have a folder A and there is 5000 subfolders from 1-5000 and need to delete half of them but not alphabetical.
Where is only way to find 1 folder to delete but how to find multiple at once ?
Maybe is possible to load a list from notepad for massive delete subfolders ? or there is some other trick ?
Thank you.

If the directories have common properties, you can use the directory listing filters (menu View) for that. Let FileZilla show only the directories you want to delete, mark all and delete them.

Working with lists isn't supported.

You could try to utilize the advanced search (press F3).

Estou tentando fazer o mesmo, já tentei de tudo e nada deu certo.
A busca avançada não me ajuda em nada, há alguma outra maneira?

Advanced search does not help me at all, is there any other way?

Using a different FTP client that can process such lists comes to my mind.

FileZilla cannot process lists or do other automated tasks.
