How to force delete some files that cannot be deleted using DOS commands?
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
Some virus files cannot be deleted under Windows. Only by using Unlocker or IceSword to solve.
But can I achieve it through DOS commands?
As long as I find this specific file name, how to force delete it.

I think that software like IceSword can achieve it. It stands to reason that it must be possible to do it through DOS commands too?

attrib -h -s -a a.bvf
del /s /q /f a.bvf

Invincible command replace in XP: force replacing files

The replace command used to replace files can even replace files that are in use.
For example: Create a directory under C: \, c: \aaa
Then copy an mp3 to c:\aaa and name it c:\aaa\a.mp3
Then copy another song to C:\a.mp3
Then play c:\aaa\a.mp3 with media player
Enter in the command prompt: replace c:\a.mp3 c:\aaa
After a while, isn't the played song changed to another one.
Using this command to replace system files is really cool, and the system file protection of XP is also ineffective for it.
No need to replace files in safe mode anymore

Replacement isn't always usable. MP3 wasn't tried. But EXE files can't be replaced.

del sometimes seems unable to delete.
I tried, sometimes unable to delete, using IceSword can. Or using Unlocker is also okay,
My purpose is to use pure DOS commands without software to solve.

The target file is in use, that is, locked. Unlocker or IceSword can delete it because they can remove the lock. Pure DOS commands can't do that.

I never succeeded when I tested replace...

Does unlocker have parameters...

ren to old
Delete after restart...

I just want to use DOS commands to achieve the function of unlocker, remove the lock, and then delete it.

rd /s/q \\?\%1
del /f/a/q \\?\%1

Drag any unremovable files onto this batch icon

Drag any unremovable files onto this batch file icon.

In the resource manager of a fat32 partition, invisible directories cannot be deleted.
Any tool cannot delete the deepest path unless you format the disk.
When deleting files, actually IceSword is not as easy to use as rd.

The `\\?\` prefix is a way to enable long path support in Windows. It allows paths that exceed the normal MAX_PATH limit (260 characters). `%1` is a command-line argument. So the first command `rd /s/q \\?\%1` is for forcibly removing (recursively, silently) the directory specified by the first command-line argument with long path support enabled, and the second command `del /f/a/q \\?\%1` is for forcibly deleting (with attributes, silently) the file specified by the first command-line argument with long path support enabled.
请指教,后面的 \\?\%1是什么意思呀?
Please advise, what does the following `\\?\%1` mean?

For deeply hidden directories, you can use DIR /AD /X > text file. Modify the text file, and then you can batch delete any files.

You can try the rm command

XP medium-unbeatable command replace: force replacement of files

The replace used to replace files can even replace files that are in use.
For example: Create a directory under C: \, c: \aaa
Then copy an mp3 to c: \aaa and name it c: \aaa\a.mp3
Then copy another song to C:\a.mp3
Then play c: \aaa\a.mp3 with media player

This should be misinformation on the Internet. I have tried to replace system files with replace many times, but all failed

What you said is good, using DOS to solve, but you don't forget, you are using CMD, not DOS, CMD doesn't have that high authority!
