As FileDelete accepts wildcards and I imagine is a direct call to the API function, how do you expect AutoIt to know the answer?
I suggest you count the files before and after the delete and do the maths yourself.

The API that I'm assuming being used is probably DeleteFile, that function doesn't return anything other than success or fail. There doesn't seem to be any way for any language using that Windows API to get the number of files that got deleted.

@extended seems to get set to non-zero when it failed delete a file

Replying to vanowm:
@extended seems to get set to non-zero when it failed delete a file
... as you already stated in the forum and assume you're still waiting for an answer? or were you trying to get a speedier answer?
Either way: Please do not post in a feature request which is closed 10 years ago!
