/EXCLUDE=(filespec[,...]) Excludes the specified files from the delete operation. You can include a directory but not a device in the file specification. The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters are allowed in the file specification. However, you cannot use relative version numbers to exclude a specific version. If you specify only one file, you can omit the parentheses. NOTE Using this qualifier with DELETE/TREE command results in an error.
