I'm tring to empty a lot of old floppies.

I used to go to dosshell.exe to delete the names of the directories after i'd cleared them.

Now, since i accidently deleted dosshell.exe, all my empty floppy disks are empty except that the names of the empty directorys won't go away.

Does anyone know how i can get dosshell.exe or is there another way i can clear my disks entirely. love, alma

URL for a DOSSHELL.EXE download:
http://oldfiles.org.uk/powerload/msdos.htm

to remove directories using the command prompt, the command is RMDIR then the file path. context:

rmdir c:\folder\

another one to permenantly and totally delete everything on the disk is "format". context:
c:\>format a:
where the c:\> part is the command prompt and format is the command, and a: is the disk you want to delete everything off of.
