    <p>It does not look like you need a database. After you have performed the search you already know the file names to delete and this is all you need.</p> <p>There is no concerns about storing long paths using either List&lt;> or a text file. The are stored exactly the same as short paths.</p> <p>Why do you need to picture the deletion process? Is there something in particular you do not understand about it? Deletion process is basically an API call that tells the file system that a file it stores is no longer exists. The file system makes a note of this and frees space / does not surface this file on any subsequent request. - this is how I picture it.</p> <p>Yes, you can delete them based on either List&lt;> or a text file.</p> <p>The code that you gave will delete all the files from c:\MyDir\ If this is all you want, then this is enough (given the application has correct permissions and files are not locked by another process).</p> <p>Here are some helpful references to answer you further questions:</p> <p>How to delete a file: <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.file.delete.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.file.delete.aspx</a></p> <p>How to write to a text file <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/8bh11f1k.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/8bh11f1k.aspx</a></p> <p>How to iterate through an array <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5ts69ce3%28v=vs.90%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5ts69ce3%28v=vs.90%29.aspx</a></p> <p>How to iterate through a collection <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wzc4yayd%28v=vs.90%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wzc4yayd%28v=vs.90%29.aspx</a></p> <p>You can delete the files from your C# code, you don't need cmd.exe for this.</p>

    3. COI would like to know how to delete the paths (selected from a checkbox) then stored in a .txt file, then to iterate through them programatically in C# (and by using cmd.exe to delete all files in the paths from .txt, I guess in a script maybe)..sorry for slow on coding and when searching for it didn't find something suiting...@zespri

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
