shift+delete
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.
You have couple choices. The first one is to connect the hard with your files to another desktop and delete it from there. The second choice is to use a dos utility with allows to write/delete in ntfs system, if you don't have ntfs you can use any dos file manager (for instance, Volkov Commander which is free). In the last case you will have to boot ms-dos which is not hard at all.
A DOS file, or .bat file can have unlimited characters.

REM deletes a file C: del filename exit Create a file, above, using wordpad and save it with the extension .BAT Modify the line C: del filename, to indicate where the file is and instead of 'filename' write the name of the file you want to delete. (REM is just a remark to remind you what it does..) Say you call the batch file 'deleter.bat', then you have to include this file name in the startup program file. This will depend on what operating system you are using. Old DOS, would use an autoexec.bat file. You could then actually add the delete command in with the autoexec.bat file.
If you are playing on the pc, and if your talking about a save file, all you have to do is right click, it will say something like "Are you sure you want to delete this save?" or something like that. If your talking about mods, all you have to do is go into your fallout3 data folder find every single file that goes with that mod and delete it.

There is no specific file extension for MS-DOS. Files can have any 3 character extension in MS-DOS.
