Windows desktop search - deleting files

[LandyMan]

Hi all,

Using windows desktop search, I found roughly 20 000 files I want to delete (and no, I am not deleting my pr0n collection ). I can't seem to find a way to select all the files and delete them at once (it asks confirmation for every file).

Does anyone know if it is possible to do a multiple selection delete from the Desktop Search Results list?

Nope

Hold Shift in then press Delete?

Doesn't do anything

Try Ctrl + A.

That is to select all, not delete

I know but if you select them all couldn't you then do a shift + delete and delete them?

It's funny how this update was forced, maybe a bit of anti-competitiveness from M$ ?

What update?

The windows update that installed windows desktop search.I thought I heard our tech guy say he didn't aprove it, went through on its own.
I could be wrong though.

So you admit to having a pr0n collection!
