any help appreciated

Richdel /s /q /f Z:\*.mp3 >>log.txt

should do the job.

uliyou got to modify a bit

Code: [Select]for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /s /b /a-d z:\*mp3') do (
del /f %%a
if %errorlevel% EQU 0 echo %%a deleted >> output.txt
)

Do the same for the rest of the file typesthanks, so will this replace or just add to the file for successive file types if repeated?

Strange.
I did a test (with echo); it echoed only the said filetypes.
