The «Files» setting provides  temporary filenames to clean with Acronis Privacy 
Expert Suite and can be used with a search string. 

 

Under the Windows operating system, a search string can represent a full or partial 
filename. It can contain any alphanumeric symbols, including comma, * and ? 
symbols, and can have values similar to the following: 

ƒ  *.* – to delete all files from the Recycle Bin – with any file names and 

extensions 

ƒ  *.doc – to delete files with specific extension – a Microsoft document file in 

this case 

ƒ  read*.* – to delete all files with any extensions, and names beginning with 

«read» 

ƒ  read?.* – to delete all files having five-letter names and any extensions, 

names beginning with «read»; the fifth letter is random 

ƒ  The last search string, for example, will result in removal of read1.txt, 

ready.doc files, but readyness.txt will remain with its longer name (excluding 
the extension) 

You can enter several different search strings separated by a semicolon; for 
example: 

*.bak; *.tmp; *.~~~;
