In DOS, you can delete files only by delete command. Use delete command as follows:

C:\> delete

For example: delete rajesh and then press enter..

To remove a directory (Folder) use following command:

C:\> RD

For example: rd documents and then press enter..

Note: Please make sure that directory is empty. You can only delete empty directory with rd command..
