How do I delete a file?

Question

I hit right click and it does not give me the normal screen it gives me open, print, edit, preview, send to and open with how do I delete it. I am not familiar with dos and couldn't get it to work.
it had:
c:/documents and settings/my name>
and when I typed in my music or my documents it said that was not a valid internal or external command so I hit DIR and saw my documents but how do I get to it to delete the file that is in My Music. I downloaded something off of Limewire and need to get rid of it.

Answer 1

Click the file to highlight it and press the Delete key. Use the cd command to go to the directory in DOS.

Answer 2

First of all never use Limewire, it's really bad. But if it's in your music library, you could always click on the song and go to the file menu and choose delete from computer. (I use Windows Media Player so it might be different for other players.)

Answer 3

by default, Limewire uses:
C:\documents and settings\YOUR NAME\SHARED

Unless you have changed it. you can select the file and press the Delete key on your keyboard.

If the thing you dl off limewire was a program, i would recommend doing a virus scan.

Answer 4

you need to go to the my music file and delete it from there. you can also go in the limewire and delete it also. you can see if it is in your winows media player and delete it and then you can select to delete it from your library and from you computer. bur try in your music folder first and right clicking on the music fle itself.

Answer 5

select the file & hit the delete key.

if it didnt work - probably the file is stuck to the disk - then try "unlocker". unlocker can be downloaded from cnet.com

Answer 6

If you are using DOS type del filename

Eample:

del thistext.txt
