How to Instantly Delete Process Files in Revit with One Click

How to Delete Process Files with One Click in Revit

When using Revit Save during a project, you may notice numerous files named “0001,” “0002,” “0003,” and so on. These process files cannot be reset to zero, meaning that every time you save a project in Revit, temporary process files are inevitably created. This can be frustrating, especially for BIM engineers who prefer a clean workspace.

Here’s a simple, one-click method to delete Revit process files:

1. Create a new text file and copy the following lines into it:

del *.*.rvt

del *.*.rfa

2. Save the file and change its extension from .txt to .bat.
3. Copy this .bat file into the folder where your Revit process files are located.
4. Double-click the .bat file to run it. You will see that the temporary files have been deleted.
5. If your process files are stored within multiple subfolders, modify the batch file content as follows to delete files recursively:

del *.*.rvt /s

del *.*.rfa /s
