Reply: (edit)Since you posted in the dos forum, the dos command would be (at the C:\> prompt if you mean the root of C:); deltree/y *~1.* This will remove any files with a long filename, ~without~ a confirmation. If you want a confirmation, drop the /y switch.

Can't you use REN to rename them?
How did you get files with long names?
How do they look in DIR?
What version of MSDOS?
What version of Windows? Nigel

Reply: (edit)Hi everyone, I know Michael (dosmemory) just wants to remove some of the Long File Names (LFN) entries without removing these files on his HD. The DOS version he refers to is MS-DOS 7.10, with native LFN support (Yes, MS-DOS 7.10 Full Version supports LFN directly). I know exactly what Michael is trying to do and have answered his question with solutions in another forum. ---------------
Long Live DOS!
