Similar to this question. I would like to find all commented files. But in my case /* */ is a possibility.

Apparently when you write changes to a database project, dropped objects are only commented out instead of deleting the file. I would like to remove all of these commented out files from the project.

Is is possible to find all files which start with /* and end with */?

    Using Visual studio

    Your regex is:

    /\*([^*]|[\r\n]|(\*+([^*/]|[\r\n])))*\*+/
    

    Use the following options in “find in files” (Ctrl-Shift-F)
    alt text

    This reference has even more options ostermiller.com/findcomments.html
    I’m sure you could mod this to find the /// comment as well
