[HIRING] Need Program to Search Folders/Files & Delete Folders

    Hello,

    I need a program that can search folders, and all subfolders, for a particular file type and if that file type is not there, it deletes the folder and all the contents inside it.

    For example, I will have:

    C:\Main\
    C:\Main\Folder1
    C:\Main\Folder2\subfolder\subfolder\subfolder\
    C:\Main\Folder3\subfolder
    C:\Main\Folder4
    C:\Main\Folder5

    It will scan all the folders, and any folders that do not not have my particular file type will be deleted. However, I need it to work with subfolders.

    So I will input c:\Main as the search in directory. And it will only delete "folder1,2,3,4,5" if any of them dont have the file type, it will NOT delete subfolders individually.

    For example if I have:
    C:\Main\Folder3\subfolder1
    C:\Main\Folder3\subfolder2
    C:\Main\Folder3\subfolder3

    and subfolder3 has my file type I need to keep the rest of the subfolders also.

    Any questions, feel free to ask. If you want to talk to me on a messenger send me your messenger details.

    hmm, is this meant for web or a desktop application?

    I assume from the example you wrote there, its a desktop application

    I would prefer a desktop application.

    I'm still looking for someone to do this.
