Swap file in dos

Comment:

I would like to know if anyone can tell me what the command line is to safely delete your windows swap file in DOS? A friend told me before and it seemed to make thins run a bit more smoother after I reset the swap file. If anyone can help that would be great.

del c:\windows\win386.swp Better to manage the file from your Windows settings - deleting in DOS will just cause it to be recreated by Windows. Doubtful if your system even makes much use of a swapfile - you've reported 512Mb, doubtful you'll run out of ram. Still, if it'll make you happy... ; )
