<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>
