I'm hoping to do some cleanup work to my files section - they're a collection of BBS utilities, legacy software, t-files from the 80s and 90s and files from file distribution networks.
They're a mess.
What's the best way to maintain/manage Synchronet file areas? I don't know if there's a utility that'll do it, especially since if memory serves there's been some changes to the file format?
I'd like to be able to update descriptions mostly. File_id.diz I'll probably leave alone.
I'm thinking that, worst case, I could copy all of the files to a temp directory, blow away the files listing, create a files.bbs file with the correct descriptions and re-upload them locally?
Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks, I found it!
I'm using a modded Renegade menu that must have been made for SBBS 2.x - there's no remove/edit files option. When I reverted to the stock menu,
I found it.
