Deleting Files
this command, FUP prompts you for permission to purge each file named in the
command:
If you add an exclamation point to your PURGE command, FUP purges the files with no
further prompts. For example, after you enter the following command, FUP purges the
files, informs you that the three files have been purged, and redisplays its command
prompt:
Purging Subvolumes With Prompting
You can purge entire subvolumes of files by using the wild-card characters * or ? for the
file name in a PURGE command. For example, you can purge all the files in the
subvolume IDEAS by entering: -PURGE IDEAS.* After you enter a command to purge
a subvolume, FUP displays a prompt asking if you want to purge the entire subvolume.
The prompt lists four actions from which you choose:
You can choose to purge the subvolume with no more prompts (YES), to purge none of
the files in the subvolume (NONE), to select the files to purge (SELECT), or to list the
files in the subvolume (FILES). Type either the first letter of the word you choose or the
entire word, and then press Return:
•
If you choose YES, FUP purges the entire subvolume with no more prompting.
•
If you choose NONE, the PURGE command ends without purging the subvolume.
The FUP prompt reappears.
