3-40 ROM-DOS 6.22 User Manual 7/9/98
D E L ( D E L e t e )
Internal
Purpose
Deletes a specified file or set of files.
Syntax
DEL [d:][path]filename [/P]
Remarks
DEL and ERASE are functionally identical.
When no drive is specified, the default is assumed. When no path is
specified, the default path is assumed.
The wildcards characters ? and * can be used in the filespec. This
should be done with caution to avoid deleting multiple files
unintentionally.
When the filespec *.* is used to delete all files in the specified
subdirectory, a verification message displays:
Are you sure (Y/N) ?
Type Y only if you want all files in the specified subdirectory to be
deleted.
CAUTION
There is no ROM-DOS command to "undelete" a file.
Although utilities exist which can attempt an undelete, certain
factors can cause the deleted file to be partially or totally
lost. The DEL command should be treated as a permanent
delete.
