    Writhing Batch File


    Here is my batch file but it will not delete the file? Must be missing something

    del "C:\Users\Larry\AppData\Local\TractorParts\tractor\ConfigSetting"
    Trying to delete the ConfigSetting File

    Did Google search with no luck, what could I be doing wrong?

    It's probably a .bat extension and you are not seeing that because of how File Explorer is set. Try this: del "C:\Users\Larry\AppData\Local\TractorParts\tractor\ConfigSetting.bat"

    If it's not a .bat file, click the view tab in File Explorer and set options to show file extensions. If it's not obvious how, you can check out this tutorial of Brink's which serves as well for Win10: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials...ndows-8-a.html
