Remove files
 
Hi.

I've been working on secondment for a company and I want to hand back my
laptop. Ideally I'd like to run some code that will search my hard drive and
delete any excel files that I created, using my name as the Author. Is this
possible?

Thanks

Why don't you just do a search for Excel files and delete them? I'm
guessing that someone could do some forensics to get them back if they wanted.

Thanks...

I've got thousands of them and only about 50 or so are mine and I don't know
which ones entirely. Using the delete author option would make sure I
suppose. I'm happy to leave excel stuff from other people.

Thanks
