It works.

I am not sure what was going on.
No problem now.

Greetings,
How can I delete multiple folders?
I can delete folders singly, but when I select multiple folders the "Delete" option in the context menu is not available.
If I choose "Delete" from the File menu no folders are deleted.

Thanks,

If you are indexing the thumb drive as a folder index in Everything: In Everything , from the Tools menu, click Options . Click the Folders tab on the left. Select your thumb drive and click Rescan Now . Close the Options window. Does the issue persist? It does not. Thanks, WV-Mike

They are .pdf files with no special attributes.

Greetings,
Everything is reporting a drive (e:) which does not exist.
I have not seen this behavior before.

I forced an index rebuild but it is still reporting the e: drive
A screen shot is attached.

Thanks,

That is what I needed.

Thanks!

When I search how can I get results which are for folders only?

Thanks,
WV-Mike

Please try searching for: e:\ dm :20180429..20181228 *.jpg size:>2mb dc = date created. dm = date modified. Date modified information is indexed by default (fast searching and sorting), whereas date created information is not. Of course! Now that it is obvious it all becomes clear. ;) Thanks and Ha...

e:\ dc:20180429..20181228 *.jpg size:>2mb

108, 618
This returns results dating back to 1982.

if your date range starts on Jan 1st 2017, shouldn't it be dc:2017 01 01..20181230 instead of 2017 10 01 I cannot get "dc:20180101..20180430 *.jpg size:>2mb" to search a USB drive. It only searches the C:\ drive. WV-Mike I was able to direct it to the E (USB) drive. However, I get no resu...

I cannot get "dc:20180101..20180430 *.jpg size:>2mb" to search a USB drive.
It only searches the C:\ drive.
