  • To delete a file from the DOS prompt (command line) you use the command:
  • del filename <Enter>
  • File names can be entered using wild cards (* and ?) where the star (*) is any string and the ? is any single character. Deleting a file called "mypictureofthegreenmoster.jpg could be done by entering:
  • del mypic*.* <Enter>
  • which will delete ALL files beginning with "mypic". This is sometimes helpful if there is a problem with a filename that has acquired weird characters in its name.
my goodness, i was about to tear my hair out... i knew the scumbags employed some crappy hidden ascii method like that, but i couldnt figure it out... del m*.* for (microsoft office xp.zip.exe) worked like a charm

Kazaa sucks... :mrgreen:

Then type:
erase conhar*.lnk
The ~1 means it's too lazy to show the whole file name because it's too long. :-)

EDIT: This was a response to the last comment on the first page, I didn't notice the other 3 pages.

hi afi_freak27

U can delete this file, there's a small utility to delete such type of files, its UNLOCKER, download this file, its a free utility, install it. Right click on the file which u wanna deleted click on unlocker, then a window opens up, then click on unlock all, now u can safely delete the files u want

Try it................
