To delete the 5th record from a database file, you typically use a command specific to the database management system (DBMS) in use. For example, in SQL, you could use a command like DELETE FROM table_name WHERE id = 5;, assuming the identifier for the record is id. However, if you're referring to a specific order (like the 5th record in a query result without a unique identifier), you might first need to retrieve that record's identifier and then execute the delete command. Always ensure to back up data before performing delete operations.
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.
