I have a lot of .oma files that I need to delete. I can see them in
explorer, can play them and delete them etc. But I want to search for
them all in one go and delete them all.

When I type oma in the search box nothing come up, even if I type part
of the file name nothing is found.

any advise please.

Have you tried searching for *.oma?

If that doesn't work (I really got tired of trying to figure out
Vista's search), Google "Agent Ransack".

Download and install.

Search for *.oma and every one of those files on your system will be
found very quickly and will be simple for you to delete.

Thanks for the reply, I have tried *.oma and nothing is found. Also in
the same directory are mp3 files, I tried mp3 and found them all.

This is really baffling me. Looks like I may have to go to each folder
and delete them separately.
