I need to delete a file but I can't navigate to it.

I've got a 450MB TIFF image file that I made from 8 or so 8MP image files stitched together. The sh!tty thing is that it's so big Windows Explorer crashes IMMEDIATELY when the folder containing the file is opened. It even crashes when the folder CONTAINING the folder CONTAINING the image file is opened.

Anyone know any commands to delete the file through cmd prompt or something?

DOS prompt FTW.

specific commands please

The image location is:

C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\My Pictures\Washington 2005 Winter\Crescent Pano.tif

I suck as DOS so please forgive me.

use 'cd' + 'folder-name' to navigate now through folders.
use cd.. to go up one step

When you found the correct folder I believe it's del "filename.xxx"

Ok, I'm good. It didn't even give me a confirmation or anything, but it worked. Whew.

Thanks.

The DOS deletion will not prompt unless you put an option with the command.
