I am using a modified version of the IWB Cleaner program to scan thru the subdirectories in a hidden directory and telling it to scan all the subdirectories looking for large files.  I was going to delete them and the subdirectories they are in.  However, IWB does not seem to allow it to go thru the subdirectories, there is an error, no idea what it is.

I am initially searching for PDF and MP4 files, since they are the biggest files, I get normally.  After the initial PDF/MP4 files, I will then add logic to just pull files greater than 2 Meg.

MailBird.ini =

C:\Users\Bill\AppData\Local\Mailbird\Store\A

The program is not complete, since I can't seem to get it to scan the subdirectories.

Thanks for any help,
Bill

I figured it out, I have to run the program as the Administrator, and it works fine.  Now all I need to do is complete the program.
