Abstract
A scrubber object may be dropped onto a container object on a computer system. A dialog box is opened which allows a user to select search criteria for the disposal of files/data within the container. After selecting the appropriate search criteria, the present invention will search the container for items meeting the criteria and will then display a list of those items for user approval. The user may then accept all items in the list for disposal, reject all items on the list for disposal, or accept some items and reject some items on the list for disposal.
