someone teach me how to delete with DOS

Name: dodo 2005-06-04 23:39

I can't delete this 700 mb file and I'm really getting frustrated. Can somebody teach me the DOS command of how to delete?

First thing I would try would be to start your computer in safe mode (press f8 while booting) and try deleting from there. Also, run chkdsk (right click the drive in My Computer, choose tools and check disk for errors), just in case it's a messed-up FAT/MFT. Failing that, you can delete within DOS (provided the drive isn't formatted with NTFS, then things become a bit more complicated). The two commands you'll need are...

cd - change directory. Used to navigate to the folder the file is stored in. eg. "cd myfolder". Also, "cd .." takes you up to the parent folder.

del - delete file. eg. "del stupidfile.avi"

You might have to "attrib -h -r -s stupidfile.avi" first though.

If you're using 2k/XP, and another process is using the file, forget about it.

Even though I recommend you to learn to use the command prompt (it's worth the time), from Windows Explorer, all you need to do is select the file and press shift+delete.

Of course, like >>3 said, if it's being used by other process, you can't.

>>3 is right
Also another thing to consider (If you're using NT/2k/XP) is your filesystem. If it's FAT you can get a boot disk from freedos.org (the link to the bootdisk is: http//www.ibiblio.o/... and this is assuming you don't have a copy of DOS already) and boot it. Find the file you want to delete (warning, everything will be in short form, ie LongAssName.avi will be LONGAS~1.AVI) and delete it that way.
