    Deleting files in windows 10

    Same way you did in XP, Vista, 7 and 8.

    If you are having problems doing this, be more specific please, what are you trying to do and how are you trying to do it?

    Ztrucker, thank you for answering.
    I found that the problem is with the file manager I use: Total Commander.
    The error message is:
    ---------------------------
    Total Commander 7.56a
    ---------------------------
    Fatal error in delete thread, aborting!
    Access violation at address 00000018. Read of address 00000018

    Actually I can delete files with Explorer.

    lol. Never hear of Total Commander until now. Anyhow, if you are used to their interface and want to continue using Total Commander, they have recently released a version for Windows 10 (8.52 RC1). I just checked out their site and the Win10 versions are available for download

    Edit: Welcome to the forum *Smile

    Maybe Total Commander is not yet compatible with Windows 10.

    Yes, something everyone should realize, companies take time to create updates to their software for Windows 10, they are in no great hurry, but give the latest version suggested by WhyMe a try.

    Personally, I see no reason to have an extra program just to delete files, windows should do it just fine.

    Ccleaner is the only program I recommend for cleaning up files and cleaning up the registry.

    Back in the 80s, before Windows was released, I used a program called Xtree for file and disk management. Lovely little thing it was too!!

    Thanks for your answer. Really very usefull. I use Total Commander since long time ago. It is very practical to manipulate folder and files.
    Thanks to all of you that are helping.

    Deleting files in windows 10

    I use Total Commander for years now, File Explorer is such piece of you know what when it comes to working with files, You can do much more than with FE and such even when you open it twice. Cut, copy, paste, zip, unzip etc can be done with a single click and drag in TC. I have been using Norton Commander in DOS days. Windows 3/3.1/3.11 had a good file commander too, I don't know what MS was thinking when it was taken out in W95, I even managed to copy it and make it work in W95 -98., after that TC all the way till now.
    I updated it to v8.51 x64 last year and works perfectly.
