Deleting .CAD files

[John Riggins]

When I create a program in PCD a .CAD file is generated.
When I delete that program PCD does not delete the .CAD file.
Is there some setting I can change?
If not, why not?
Why would the folks at Wilcox set up a situation where your local hard drive is filled with usless .CAD files.
I go into Windows explorer every few months and clean this stuff out.
It's a pain.

With all programs closed, go to file>operations>delete. That will delete both your .cad and .prg file after you make a choice.

But you are supposed to open one any program to use
File>operation>delete. I am away from computer right now so I can not imagine at this time.

You can do the file | operations | delete with a program open as well.
I'm assuming in the original question John is referring to using the file | open dialogue box to delete files since by default it only shows *.PRG files. There is a drop down for files to show that includes *.PRG, *.CAD to show the both files for each program, then both can be deleted manually.
The other option is to use File Explorer from windows.

I just got into the habit of deleting the *.prg, *.cad using a shortcut on my desktop that points to the WAI/Pcdvxxx/Programs.

James, with all program closed.
File>operation>delete. Is it going to show me the list of files from which I will select one I want to delete because I don't want to delete anything which is important and has to be subsist in PCDMIS folder. I normally don't try this function. I typically use delete switch in keyboard.

It opens your program directory and you select what program you want to delete.

Thanks you very much.
