  • DESCRIPTION OF mc-rm
    mc-rm removes files from a PSX memory card. You will be prompted to answer yes or no before a file gets deleted, but you can override this behaviour with the --force option switch (which is not recommended. Deleted files are not recoverable!). The files to be deleted must be given at the command line, shell wildcards are also accepted.
  • EXAMPLES FOR mc-rm
    mc-rm -f \*
    the worst thing you could do: not recommended!
    mc-rm "a test file"
    delete the file named "a test file"
  • BUGS OF mc-rm
    Slots are numbered 0 and 1 instead of 1 and 2. This is a design bug in all memory card tools but it won't be changed anymore.
  • NOTES ON mc-rm
    You need to escape the shell meta characters * and ?, because they are applied on the PSX filesystem.
