How do I batch PURGE?

Hurricane comes with a couple of scripts for purging.

Take a moment to look at the contents of the scripts by clicking on their names in the user-script library. They have the word "purge" in their file names.

You can probably use any of them "as-is" or may want to modify them to suit your needs.

But you might want to try out the PURGE WIZARD as this tool makes purging scripts very easy.
