Delete                                         Manual page 123
F8, Shift+F8

 This command allows you to delete file(s) and empty
 directories.  There are three ways you can use this command:

     .  You can delete the file or directory under the cursor
        bar in a file panel, or the directory under the cursor
        in a tree panel.

     .  You can delete a group of files that you've marked
        with the Ins key or Select group and Unselect group.

     .  Advanced users: You can type in the name of the file
        to delete (or a group of files if you use DOS wildcard
        characters).  Press Shift + F8 or hold down Shift when
        you select Delete from the Files menu.  Be careful,
        though, as you can delete a lot of files when you use
        the DOS * wildcard character.

   Read-only files:
        If a file is marked as read-only, you'll be asked for
        confirmation before the Commander deletes.  Hint: if
        you want to delete a group of files that are marked
        read-only, used the File attributes command in the
        Files menu to clear the read-only attribute.

   Note:  This command updates the treeinfo.ncd file when you
          delete a directory.
