You can use the Windows command line to instruct the Test Results Deletion Tool to delete test results according to criteria you specify. For example, you may want to always delete test results older than a certain date or over a minimum file size.
To run the Test Results Deletion Tool from the command line:
Open a Windows command prompt and type <QuickTest installation path>\bin\TestResultsDeletionTool.exe, then type a space and type the command line options you want to use.
Note: If you use the -Silent command line option to run the Test Results Deletion Tool, all test results that meet the specified criteria are deleted. Otherwise, the Delete Test Results window opens.
You can use command line options to specify the criteria for the test results that you want to delete. Following is a description of each command line option.

TestResultsDeletionTool.exe -Silent -Test "C:\tests\test1" -FromDate "11/1/2005"
Creates a log file containing an entry for each test results file in the folder or test you specified. The log file indicates which results were deleted and the reasons why other results were not. For example, results may not be deleted if they are smaller than the minimum file size you specified.
You can specify a file path and name or use the default path and name. If you do not specify a file name, the default log file name is TestResultsDeletionTool.log in the folder where the Test Results Deletion Tool is located.
The following example creates a log file in C:\temp\Log.txt.
TestResultsDeletionTool.exe -Silent -Log "C:\temp\Log.txt" -Test "C:\tests\test1"
