Parameters
/unreserved: Permanently deletes the specified file. If you do not specify this keyword, the command
moves the file to the recycle bin.
file-url: Specifies the name of the file to be deleted. Asterisks (*) are acceptable as wildcards. For
example, to remove files with the .txt extension in the current directory, enter delete *.txt.
Usage guidelines
Use the delete /unreserved file-url command with caution. You cannot restore a file that was deleted with
this command.
The delete file-url command (without /unreserved) moves the specified file to the recycle bin, unless the
device is running out of storage space. If the device is running out of storage space, the file is
permanently deleted.
A file moved to the recycle bin can be restored by using the undelete command.
Do not use the delete command to delete files from the recycle bin. To delete files from the recycle bin, use
the reset recycle-bin command.
If you delete two files that have the same name but reside in different directories, both files are retained
in the recycle bin. If you successively delete two files that have the same name from the same directory,
only the file deleted last is retained in the recycle bin.
