Use DOS commands. Go here and scroll down to the Delete section: https://kb.wisc.edu/page.php?id=903

@skaters Shell Statement. Shell "dir", Shell "del myfile.txt", ... . http://www.qbasic.net/en/reference/... DOS-Box Is DOS Emulator And DOS-Box Environment Is DOS Environment. Good Luck. message edited by TechDOS

Can you see the files from the windows desktop or command prompt without opening dosbox? If so just delete them as you would any other file. Or, if you can't find them, Qbasic files should have a .bas extension. Try doing a file search for *.bas to find them.

It depends a lot on just how you have set things up. In principle you delete the files for the individual qbasic files (programs) you are running. So firstly you need to find out exactly where they have been put and their names. They will have a bas file extension. However if you run into trouble your best bet is to go to one of the DOS Box forums - click links below: https://www.vogons.org/viewforum.ph... https://forums.launchbox-app.com/fo... EDIT: I overlooked #4 above but as I've typed it I might as well submit it. Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks message edited by Derek

"I downloaded qbasic straight from the comp windows 7" I thought you said you had put it in DOS Box. The programs that run on it have a bas extension. They must be "somewhere", all you have to do is find them and delete them - see response #4. Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks

Great:( now i have another problem... how to take a screenshot to show you what i mean:( i said the app used dos-box though i do not have it:/ (i do not know how) message edited by skaters

You said "i just use dos-box" So as you use it we assumed you had it onboard. If you haven't got a screen capture program you could just use the Print Screen key, then open Paint and "Paste" it into it. Save the Paint file then upload it here: http://www.fileconvoy.com/index.php Post the address (URL) that they give you on here and we will then be able to go there and see it. These files you are referring to. We have assumed you mean programs. Is that right or do you mean you want to delete Qbasic itself? If they are little basic programs did they come with the package or did you add them yourself. If you added them it ought to be possible to delete them. Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks

ANS found KILL "(name)" is the ANS

OK thanks. Looks like we didn't understand the question originally. Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
