Parameters for QVS.exe

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi All,

I was recently fiddling with the Shared file cleaning capabilities of the QVS.exe file. I noticed that we can pass parameters like -x and -v to QVS.exe. Naturally my next question was to find out the list of all the parameters available for QVS.exe.

I tries to pass -? and /? to bring up the help context, which would usually contain all the possible parameters. But I found no luck, as it returned me only the below screen.

Can any one help and let me know what are the possible parameters and their corresponding functions?

Regards,

Mithun

Hi,

There are very few switches for QVS. The ones you posted above and the 2 for checking and cleaning the .share files.
