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
