Deltree works too - but be careful. That only works in Dos 6.x or 7.x, not in a 2K/XP command environment.

Copying nothing to the file would eliminate the data, but the file would still exist. You could also remove the directory it is in, but that would destroy all other files in that directory too.
Is this some kind of trick question? |

Don't know if this is what you are looking for, but if you have PHP installed, you could do:
Code:
php -r 'unlink( "file\\to\\delete" );' |
