one line of typing once you've got it, and you can write it down on a piece
of paper or something for future reference. It's not like you have to learn
the ins and out of all the commands and its options and what not. (Of
course, you would want to test it on a small sample to make sure the command
is correct before you let it loose on the whole dump.)
In my experience, what on Unix is done with generic built-in
command-line utilities can often be done on Windows using
special-purpose GUIs written by third parties (often non-gratis, or
nagware/adware/etc.). It's obviously a vastly inferior system to
those of us who are happy using command lines, or even who are
accustomed to using open-source GUI software, but it can work. For
instance, this program provides a function to "Delete files that match
custom file name patterns and filters", and has a free trial version:

So it's not accurate to say it's only feasible to use a command line here.
