exclude these from the search.

A tree structure opens in your folder. Select here a folder to be deleted and click OK.
Alternatively, enter into the text field the full path of the folder to be deleted.
The Delete allocated free disk space option overwrites the space reserved for the files in the
selected folder, thereby increasing deletion security.

unchecking the Include subordinate folders checkbox.

You can now select the deletion method you want (see Deletion Methods).
