Delete Folder Content [Registry Hack – Vista & Windows 7]

“Delete Folder Content”, mai pe romaneste, deletes the contents of a folder. It's a registry hack which will add this option in Windows Context Menu (the menu that appears when you right-click on a folder). See the image below:

delete-folder-content

This option will appear in the Windows Context Menu if you make a small registry change.

open Notepad.exe and copy/paste the code below:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Delete Folder Contents]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Delete Folder Contents\command]
@="cmd /c \"cd /d %1 && del /s /q *.*"

Save the file on the Desktop with the extension .reg (delete.reg, for example), then double-click it. Click "Yes" & “Ok”.
When you right-click on a folder whose content you want to delete, you will notice that the "Delete Folder Content" option has appeared.

I don't know if this hack is valid on Windows XP, but on Windows Vista and Windows 7 it definitely works (tested).

Passionate about technology, I write with pleasure on stealthsetts.com starting with 2006. I have a rich experience in operating systems: Macos, Windows and Linux, but also in programming languages ​​and blogging platforms (WordPress) and for online stores (WooCommerce, Magento, Presashop).
