Heya guys this is more of a general computer question, I don't know if anyone has installed Lindemans Ortho scenery for NZ in Xplane11? He states in the instructions to delete the jpegs after the conversion to dds files but there are just too many to do one by one, it would literally take me days!! does anyone know of a quick way to separate the jpegs from the dds files so the jpegs can be deleted all in one go? It's driving me nuts lol

WARNING: this will delete *ALL* JPGS in the target folder.

a) take a backup ***first***!

Method1
Open the folder in windows explorer / my computer
Sort by file type (make sure the type column is visible and may also want to ensure file extensions are visible)
All 'same type' files will be grouped together
Select all the jpgs by click the first, holding shift down and clicking the last
Check all the selected files are actually the ones you want to delete
Hit the delete button on the keyboard

Method2
Warning: you don't get to review the files in this method; they just get gone!
Open the folder in windows explorer / my computer
Type "cmd" in the command / address bar (this will open a command prompt window at the same folder)
In the cmd prompt type;
del *.jpg
Press ENTER
If you have files with the extension .jpeg then also use
del *.jpeg
