The /remove command can be used to delete a file permanently or sends it to the recycle bin. The filename cannot be a wildcard pattern. This command prints "* Removed '<filename>'", to avoid that message, use the dot prefix (i.e. use /.remove).

Synopsis

/remove -b <filename>

Switches

  • -b - Send the file to the recycle bin

Parameters

  • <filename> - the file to remove. Your filename can be case-insensitive, but cannot include ?* wildcards. In the absence of a full path, filenames are assumed to be relative to $mircdir. If the <filename> contains any spaces, it must be enclosed in quotes.

Note: If filename contains 2+ consecutive spaces, this command searches for a filename without the duplicate space, and deletes that file instead, if it exists.

Example

create and write to a file:
/write foo.txt Hello There
remove the file:
/remove foo.txt
delete a filename containing space from downloads subfolder:
//.remove $qt(downloads\test filename.txt)

Note: The dot prefix hides both the success message and the "no such file" error.

Compatibility

Added: mIRC v4.0
Added on: 20 Mar 1996
Note: Unless otherwise stated, this was the date of original functionality.
Further enhancements may have been made in later versions.
