In today’s tutorial, I’m going to show you how to force delete a file that won’t delete on your Windows computer.

This issue can be seen when you try to delete a file on your computer, and the progress bar just keeps repeating back and forth, and the file never actually deletes.

In today’s example, I’m going to delete a file from my desktop.

*Getting started:*
1. As you can see on my screen, I have a file on my desktop called “example123” and it’s a text file.
2. To force delete this file, go into the Windows start bar, and type in “Command Prompt” and click on the “Command Prompt” application to open it up.
3. For today’s command, we’re going to start it by entering /”del/” space /”//
