Well, you have to know where the mp3 files are in order to write a *.bat file to erase them. Let's assume all the mp3 files are in a directory named "music". Here is the DOS commands to use.
c: cd \music erase *.mp3
You can use edit.com or notepad and copy these lines. Then save the program to the Windows directory under a name you'll remember, like "erase.bat".
The first line, c:, is the DOS command to change to the c: hard drive. The second line, cd \music is the DOS command to change directory to the \music directory. The third command erase all files ending in mp3.
