# Syntax Files can be deleted using the syntax: ``` local delete files "SPECIFICATION" ``` The specification can contain a directory path. When no directory path is specified, the current working directory is used. The specification must contain a file pattern with the following special characters: - `*`: sequence of any 0, 1 or more characters. - `?`: any character. # Examples The following example deletes the file `c:\temp\temp.bin` when existing: ``` local delete files "c:\temp\temp.bin" ``` The following example deletes all files with a name starting with `temp` and extension `.bin` in `c:\temp`: ``` local delete files "c:\temp\temp*.bin" ```
