In most data processing, when deleting a file, it is only the file name that is deleted. This then leaves the space previously occupied by the file to be re-used. This is an inherent property of a 'file allocation table'. Importantly, to actually remove the data, one must re-write new arbitrary data over the file space many times. Seven overwrites is usually adequate.

How do you delete 0 byte files using DOS?
The command for deleting a file in DOS is DEL. If the file you are trying to delete is in the current directory, type DEL followed by the full filename. E.g. del file001.txt If there are multiple files, the wildcard * can be used. del file*.txt will delete all the text files that start with 'file' del file*.* will delete all the files that start with file. del *.txt will delete all the text files. del *.* will delete all the files in the current directory. It is possible to delete files in another directory by typing the full path and filename del c:\folder01\*.* will delete all the files in the directory c:\folder01\ DEL will not affect hidden files, but careless use of this command could damage your operating system so use with care.
