Delete                                          F8, Shift + F8
 This command  allows you to delete  files  and  directories.
 There are three ways you can use this command:

     .  You can delete the file or directory under the cursor
        bar  in a file  panel, or  the  directory  under  the
        cursor in a tree panel.

     .  You can delete a group of files and directories  that
        you've marked  with  the  Ins  key  or  Select group,
        Unselect group and Invert group.

     .  You can type in  the name of the file to delete (or a
        group of files if you  use DOS wildcard  characters).
        Press Shift+F8 or hold down  Shift  when  you  select
        Delete  from  the  Files menu. Be careful, though, as
        you can delete a lot of files when you use  the DOS *
        wildcard character.

   Read-only files:
        If a file is marked as read-only, you'll be asked for
        confirmation  before  the Commander deletes. Hint: if
        you want to delete a group of files that  are  marked
        read-only, used the File attributes  command  in  the
        Files menu to clear the read-only attribute.

   Not empty directories:
        If a directory is  not  empty, you'll  be  asked  for
        confirmation before  the Commander  deletes  it.  All
        files and subdirectories in this  directory  will  be
        deleted.

   Note:  This command deletes the treeinfo.ncd file when you
          delete a directory.
