Global file-name characters are not permitted in the name of the file to be deleted.

Read-only files cannot be deleted by DosForceDelete. To delete a read-only file, you must first issue DosSetFileInfo to change the file's read-only attribute to zero, then delete the file.

The deleted file cannot be recovered with the UNDELETE command. You may want to issue DosForceDelete to delete a temporary file that you would not want to recover.

DosForceDelete cannot be used to delete directories. Issue DosDeleteDir to delete a directory.
