To delete all of the files in the current folder, which command should be run from the Windows Command line?
  1. RD *.*
  2. DEL *.*
  3. REMOVE ALL
  4. FORMAT
Explanation
Answer: B - The command DEL *.* can be run from the Windows Command line to delete all of the files in the current folder.

Key Takeaway: The command DEL is used to delete files (not directories, that’s what RD is for). The command DEL *.* tells the computer to delete all files, using the *s as the wildcards. The format command can be used to wipe an entire partition, but should not be used with single folders.
