Before defragmentation, delete the following files

If you choose to use this option, take care to ensure you do not delete anything you wish to keep, especially if you are using wildcards. The files are deleted permanently and you will not be able to recover them.

You can use this feature to delete temporary files. Note that by default this option is disabled.

A pattern only applies within a single folder which means the following:

/a/*/b

will delete all files called ‘b’ that are found in all folders that are in ‘a’.

If the Recursive option is checked and the pattern matches a folder, the folder and all its contents will be deleted. If the Recursive option is not checked and the pattern matches a folder, the folder will not be deleted, even if the folder happens to be empty.
