Poss Stupid Question

Post by fdnyems49 »

Hello board, I am dumb when it comes to Dos. I have been trying to load mts software by re-starting in dos. each time i load it doesnt take due mts.odb not being found, at the same time where it says 12345kb space left seems like it keeps getting less and less each time i try to install it. Is there a way to delete in dos.

Once you're in the directory, type del (whatever) to delete. Make sure you put the space in there! What OS are you running?

DOS commands...

RR:

In DOS you can delete either a file or all the files in a directory.

To delete a file just type del 143.bat, where 143.bat is the file
To delete ALL the files in a directory, type del *.*. The program
will ask you to confirm this, which you do by typing Y for yes.

DOS deleted files don't go to a recycle bin. They just have the
first letter of their name removed which removes them as far
as you're concerned.
