So we need to delete everything with a ~~ in the name. What the Vue user can’t do here is have Windows Explorer just search for ~~. or *~~. and then delete the lot. Explorer doesn’t play nicely with symbols, for some unknown reason. All it will do, with a search like that, is to find everything<\/em>.<\/p>\n Of course, it’s possible to do this with arcane command lines or wrestle with PowerShell, but that’s total overkill and requires skills unknown to ordinary mortals.<\/p>\n The solution is a handy little Windows freeware utility, of course. Alternate Directory<\/a> is a finder-deleter for Windows that can do the job. It’s a little mis-named, and should probably have been called ‘Search and Delete Files by Mask’ or something like that.<\/p>\n 1.<\/strong> Download and install.<\/p>\n 2.<\/strong> Make sure you’re going to ‘Recycle’ rather than ‘Clean’. Then go: View | Options | Edit.<\/p>\n 3.<\/strong> Paste in *~~.*<\/strong> at the top of the list. Then select and delete all the other file name-types on the list, and save. Congratulations, you’ve just configured Alternate Directory to only find files with ~~. in the filename. (The * here, for those who don’t know, is a wildcard — it tells the software to find ‘anything’ in the search string).<\/p>\n All the other file-types were just the sort of cruft that system administrators encounter on their servers and need to bulk delete.<\/p>\n 4.<\/strong> Now use Alternate Directory to navigate to C:\\ProgramData\\e-onsoftware\\Vue xStream 2016 (or whatever top folder your Vue version indicates for its content files)<\/p>\n 5.<\/strong> Making absolutely sure you have ‘Recycle’ selected run “Diagnosis” on the folder. All sub-folders are also looked into.<\/p>\n
