    deleting hard drive files

    Hi,

    May we know what type of file are you trying to delete? Would it be Office documents, media files, or picture files? If you're trying to delete files for free some space on your device. We suggest to perform a Disc Cleanup. Kindly follow the steps below to
    perform the task:

    • Type in Cortana Disc Cleanup
    • Choose the files to delete
    • Click on "Clean up system files"
    • Click on Ok

    For any concerns, don't hesitate to get back to us.

    Regards.

    Instructions for deleting files, using CMD

    Hello to the Community,

    Need to delete lots of files; some are large.

    I'm looking for the steps to permanently delete selected files, using CMD (I am NOT a skilled User)

    The standard Delete via File Explorer sometimes doens't work....and/or is very slow to delete.

    Its 2-step operation... to collect, and then delete via the Recycle Bin .... takes
    approximately forever on some files.

    Google research shows me there's some simple ways to use CMD like DEL / RMDIR / /Q /S But I don't know how to use them.

    Could someone send me the specific steps I should enter?

    And also, what is the exact layout/format for defining the file(s) to be deleted, in each CMD string ?

    Thank you,

    Gary

    Is there any cmd file capable of deleting all files in a drive ?

    Visual basic text file nightmare

    FYI, you can work around file locks by having CMD do a copy. CMD copy ignores file locks. Read the copied file, then delete the copy when done.
