Dear Mary & List:
One way to delete unwanted files is to first run the attrib command on them
from the command prompt.
First, run attrib on the files and note their attributes.
They may be marked system or read-only,
Then run attrib with a hyphen in front of each attribute you wish to delete.
E.g. attrib -s -r -a -d *.*
Would delete the attributes of all files in the directory.
Then delete memimg.mem
Will delete the file specified.
Or delete *
Will delete everything in the folder.
You may need to be in administrator mode to do this if you do not own the
files.

Subject: [mac4theblind] Getting rid of Image files in downloads folder:
Happy New Year, Everyone!
What I would like to know is where to find out how to get rid of a bunch of
disk image files in my downloads folder which are cluttering things up. I
cannot seem to get the command delete keys to do it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks.
