<H1>d (Delete) command</H1>



<P>Deletes files from archive.</P>



<H4>Example</H4>



<PRE class="example">

7z d archive.zip *.bak -r

</PRE>



<P>deletes <SPAN class="filename">*.bak</SPAN> files from archive

    <SPAN class="filename">archive.zip</SPAN>.</P>





<H4>Notes</H4>



<P>7-Zip doesn't use the system wildcard parser. 7-Zip doesn't

follow the archaic rule by which *.* means any file. 7-Zip treats

*.* as matching the name of any file that has an extension. To process 

all files, you must use a * wildcard.</P>
