Deletes DOS files.
dosdel [ -v ] [ -D Device ] File ...
The dosdel command deletes the DOS file specified by the File parameter. Use the -v flag to obtain format information about the disk.
DOS file-naming conventions are used with one exception. Since the \ (backslash) character can have special meaning to the operating system, use a / (slash) character as the delimiter to specify subdirectory names in a DOS path name. The dosdel command converts lowercase characters in the file or directory name to uppercase before it checks the disk. Because all file names are assumed to be full (not relative) path names, you need not add the initial / (slash).
To delete a DOS file on the default device, enter:
dosdel file.ext
