## Options

To get a list of all options available for the keyword **DeleteShow** in the command line feedback window type the following into the command line.

\[Channel]> DeleteShow /?

The keyword **DeleteShow** has the following options:

| Option    | Shortcut | Option value    | Description                              |
| --------- | -------- | --------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| backup    | b        | no option value | Deletes backup files ending in .backup.  |
| show      | s        | no option value | Deletes show files ending in .show\.gz.  |
| noconfirm | nc       | no option value | Suppresses confirmation pop-up.          |

 

This function deletes show files on the currently selected hard drive. Use wildcards (\*) in filename to delete multiple files. If /noconfirm option is included, the deletion of each file needs to be confirmed. To avoid constant confirmation add "nonconfirm" at the end of the command.
