Mass File Deletion.

by jeremcurry . Updated 25 years, 5 months ago

My GroupWise server went crazy and filled an entire volume with a duplicate message. I now need to delete 1,100,853 files created between 1/12/2001 and 1/15/2001 which are spread across 248 directories (\PostOffice\OFFILES\FD**). Is this even possible or do I need to delete the entire directory structure and restore from backup? The catch: the backup has been failing lately and I will lose 3 weeks worth of email by reverting to tape.
