Create or delete file via CMD - so it'll work

You can use the command prompt (CMD) in Windows to create and delete files. We show you exactly how this works in this manual.

CMD: Create file - this is how you proceed

We use an example to show you how to create a file with CMD. We will create a text file "test.txt" that contains the text "Hello" and place it on the desktop.

1. Start the command prompt: Open the Run window with [Win] + [R], enter "cmd" and confirm with [Enter].
2. Now navigate to the desired folder, in our example to the desktop.
3. You can now create the text file with the "copy con" command. Enter "copy con test.txt" and confirm with [[Enter].
4. Now you can type the text into the file. In our example we write "Hello".
5. Finally save the file with the key combination [Ctrl] + [Z].

CMD: delete file

1. To delete a file, type "del" followed by the location and file name.
2. The text file just created can be deleted with the command "del C: \ Users \ user \ desktop \ test.txt".
3. Confirm the command with [Enter].

Next, you should know how to put the PC into sleep mode with CMD.
