Can We Delete Multiple Snapshots?

Cannot delete multiple snapshots

from Stardock Forums

Your automatic snapshots option causes problems for me (not being able to move files or icons in certain places), so I must take snapshots manually several times per day. Once I have taken a new snapshot I do not need the old. It appears the only way to delete old snapshots is one at a time. This is too time consuming. I will be doing this thousands of times per year. Isn't there a way to highlight multiple snapshots and then delete in mass? Isn't this an important/basic enough function to add? And/or isn't there a way to locate snapshots using File Explorer and delete there? It is nowhere to be found in Stardock's Fences folder. Please help. Thank you.

The snapshots are by default located in C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Stardock\Fences\Backups

That was the first place I looked, however there is no AppData folder.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Here is mine. Maybe you have it hidden.

It's maybe hidden by default, but all you have to do is type it in the address bar.

Must be hidden, but typing in the address bar worked. Thank you! I recommend allowing people to select multiple screenshots within the program, perhaps allowing to SHIFT+Click and/or CTRL+Click.

Still trying to resolve similar issue.... but JUST A NOTE.  If a files settings are hidden, you have to unhide it/   You can not just type the path in the address bar.  Also a note to all....... do not forget to hide the file when you are done.  System files are hidden for a reason.

Yes, you can. You have to type the whole path though, including the filetype at the end, like this: C:\somefile.txt On many systems, those endings are not visible for known filtypes. That can be enabled in folder settings.
