WipeDisk will clear a diskette of all contents- all directories and files, and the volume label. This is the quickest way that I have found to erase all of the files from a diskette. All files, including hidden, system, and read-only files will be deleted.

The program will erase all of the files from the diskette, and then remove the volume label. It will not make the files unrecoverable, nor will it zero out the files for security.

WipeDisk is a DOS command line program.

WipeDisk drive /Y

WipeDisk The command name. You may rename it to whatever you prefer: Personally, I use two batch files: WipeA and WipeB.

Drive The drive that contains the diskette that you wish to clear. The only valid options are A: and B:.

Y Really delete? The default is 'N'. Specify this switch if you really wish to clear the diskette. Otherwise, the program will only 'detect', and not really 'delete.' This switch is required to prevent inadvertent deletion of an entire diskette by simply invoking the command.

Use the command with caution: it does not prompt you or give you a second chance. If you inadvertently delete a file or files that you did not want to delete, you may be able to use one of the "Undelete" commands to get it back, but I make no guarantees.
