I'm trying to search inside a folder for files containing a certain phrase and delete them. The only way I can think of is to use Windows to search the folder. I tried google desktop search but it does not let you select all of the files. I'm pretty sure that the search function is not working because of some service that is disabled or something like that.

Also, I was thinking that there is probably a way to do this through the command prompt, but I am not familiar enough with it to figure it out.

Any suggestions?
