Script to delete files with an input for directories and an input for path/file
Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how best to approach this script, and I have very little experience, so I could use all the help I can get.
I regularly need to delete files from many directories.
A file with the same name may exist any number of times in different subdirectories.
When I perform the deletion, I will have a list of the upper level directories I want to delect the file path from, and a list of pathed files I want to delete from those directories only.
What would be the best way to set this up with the two input files?
For example, I need to delete:
from
But I want files with the same names elsewhere to be left alone.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
I'm looking to delete some files from directories.
I've just put in a file the location of these files.
