I need something serious right now everybody I've talked to has said something very stupid even "Turn off ur computer." I've looked on the web and all i find is crap about deleting temp internet files. I dont want to delete anything that is important to my machine.

I always run scandisk to fix errors, defrag, then delete temporary using the DOS way, but I've lost the piece of paper with my instructions on it.

No...because I don't want some wise-ass company on the Internet to see where I have gone with the cookies in my computer.:p

On I side note, I believe the command you're looking for is "del".
