6.1.4 Expunging and Quitting

Command: Dired Expunge Files (bound to Dired: !) ¶

Hemlock Variable: Dired File Expunge Confirm (initial value t) ¶

Hemlock Variable: Dired Directory Expunge Confirm (initial value t) ¶

This command deletes files marked for deletion, asking the user for confirmation once for all the files flagged. It recursively deletes any marked directories, asking the user for confirmation once for all those marked. Dired File Expunge Confirm and Dired Directory Expunge Confirm when set to nil individually inhibit the confirmation prompting for the appropriate deleting.

Command: Dired Quit (bound to Dired: q) ¶

This command expunges any marked files or directories as if by Expunge Dired Files before deleting the Dired buffer.
