4. Format c:/ U
Then "Y" when it prompts you.

CAUTION! I'm kidding! This command will WIPE your C-drive!

7. Why DOS command?
If you're running a flavor of Windows you're safer using an uninstall, or going to the Control Panel and using Install/Remove programs.

If you must use a DOS command it's likely something like this:

DEL <path><filename.extension>

DEL is the command. (delete)

<path> is the directory structure. Something like C:\Programs\SpaceWrt\

<filename.extension> is just that. The name of the specific file you want to delete and it's three letter extension, separated by a period. Something like myfile.doc

So the above examples would be:

DEL C:\Programs\SpaceWrt\myfile.doc

If you don't know the specific path(s) or file name(s) then you shouldn't be messing about with DEL in the first place. Learn more, or get knowlegable assistance.
