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.
