How to remove files starting with dot (.) from a directory?-CodePudding

I have a list of files and folders inside a directory. For example, .jazz or .project file after a checkout.

I am using batch script currently, May I know how to remove .jazz or .project files from my Jenkins workspace ?

Just like @Squashman said in the comments, you can use the wildcard symbol * combined with anything.

So in your case it is: del /f ".jazz*" Use del /f /s ".jazz*" if there are directories too.

See this documentation for more information.

You can do this by using UNC (Universal Naming Convention) for paths. For example in windows you can delete folders with:

rmdir \\.\c:\YourFolder\.dir_to_remove

On *nix systems you need to change the direction of the slash (\ to /).
