Deletion Software

    I'm looking for some software that will allow me to batch delete image files ending with a specific character.

    Example:

    176b
    176f
    176t
    200f
    200b
    200t

    I'm looking to keep all the files ending with the letter "t" and delete all others.

    I have over 3,000 image files that i want to keep but because of a program update i now have 8,000. I don't fancy going through them 1 by 1 and deleting them.

    Thanks.

    Just go to windows search, browse to the folder and do a wildcard search with a character you know you want to delete.

    Eg "*b" (without quotes).

    Then just click ctrl + a and press delete.

    Not answering your question op but since the update caused 5000 new images, could you sort by date as they might have been created when the update went through.
