file-spec[, . . . ] Specifies the names of one or more files to be deleted. You can specify wildcard characters in any of the file specification fields. To delete more than one file, separate the file specifications with commas or plus signs. The DELETE command does not delete a file with the SYS type unless you specify the /SYSTEM qualifier. EXCHANGE displays a message if it passes over one or more SYS files during a delete operation. EXCHANGE does not delete files with the type BAD if the file specification contains wildcards. When this happens, you will not receive a warning. Therefore, to delete files with the type BAD, enter their file specifications explicitly.
