    Good evening,

    I suppose you're testing the deletion of a hidden file in DOS =

    you need to start by accessing the file via its path
    ex C:\>cd %userprofile%\......

    List with the command dir "only the hidden files"

    dir /ah filetosuppress //parameter /a + attributes h for hidden

    then del /ah filetosuppress //parameter /a + attributes h to delete the hidden file

    Note: To list hidden files, you can also use the command dir /a-d which lists all files only.

    There you go @+

    Good evening,

    Maybe you need to disable the hidden file attribute first (?)...

    In that case, the command is Attrib -h
