Re: can not delete strange char file in internet temp folder

You may be able to delete it from a Command Prompt with
a wild card, e.g. like so: del 070*.jpg.

The '?' char can not be display here but it shows in file explorer and
command prompt. It is ?(html char). Because of this '?' char the folder
can
not be deleted under the command prompt. What should I do?

Hello!

How can I delete this 070ñ27_1a[1?.jpg file in internet temp
folder?
It
can not be deleted under the dos. How do I input unicode char from
keyboard?
Thx


Try this in a Command Prompt (which you call "DOS"):

1. Navigate to the parent folder of the problem folder.
2. Type this command:
dir /x {Enter}
3. Make a note of the 8.3 folder name.
4. Type this command:
rd /s /q 8.3_folder name {Enter}
