Do you remember this program?

You could modifiy it to delete /Ram files and load all bin files from /disk 
to /Ram

 210 D$ = CHR$ (4) : DIM KILL$ (50)
 220 PN$ ="/RAM"
 280 PRINT D$;"OPEN";PN$;",TDIR"
 290 PRINT D$;"READ";PN$
 292 FOR X=1 TO 3
 295 INPUT DIR$ : REM SKIP HEADER
 297 NEXT : X=0
 300 INPUT DIR$
 320 IF DIR$  = "" GOTO 360 : REM BLANK LINE
 330 KILL$ (X) = MID$ (DIR$,2, 16)
 340 X = X + 1
 350 GOTO 300
 360 PRINT D$;"CLOSE" : X = X-1
 370 FOR LOOP =0 TO X
 380 PRINT D$ ;  "DELETE /RAM/"; KILL$(LOOP)
 390 NEXT : END
