I have a file that was created from a dirlister program and it is in every
folder.
How can I delete this file in batch mode?
The file name is" _thisdir.html"

open search in explorer in C:\ and search for the file.
When it finishes, in the search results, you can select all and delete.
Shift delete skips the recycle bin.
