| Explanation & Hint:
The best Windows command to use for erasing or deleting one or more files from a directory is del.
The del command in Windows is used specifically for deleting files. It can be used to delete one file, multiple files, or even a group of files matching a specified pattern.
The other commands have different purposes:
bootrec: This is used to repair the boot process for Windows. It’s useful in fixing boot-related issues but not for deleting files.ipconfig: This command is used to display and manage the network configuration on a Windows computer, particularly IP addressing. It’s not used for file management.diskpart: While this is a utility for managing disk partitions, it’s more powerful and complex and is generally used for tasks like creating, deleting, or resizing disk partitions, not for individual file operations.history: In the context of Windows Command Prompt, there isn’t a built-in history command. In PowerShell, history shows a history of the commands entered during the current session, but it’s not for file deletion.
Therefore, for deleting files, del is the appropriate command. |
