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.

Wildcards, such as * (denotes "any number of characters"), are used to take action on any items in the folder that meet the requirements. You can think of a*.txt as meaning "starts with an a followed by any number of characters, and ending with a period and the extension 'txt'."
