Delete a File with the Command Line

Since version 1.5.7, Wise Force Deleter supports command line mode, which means you can force delete files and folders using the command line.

Step 1. Open Command Prompt

Press the Windows logo key + R on your keyboard, type cmd, and click OK.

If you are running Terminal in Windows 11, you can also enter Command Prompt mode by simply typing cmd.

Step 2. Navigate to the Wise Force Deleter folder

If you haven't changed the default installation location, enter the following command:

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Wise\Wise Force Deleter\"

Step 3. Delete a file

Use the following command:

wisefd [file]

[file] is the full path, file name, and extension.

For example:

wisefd "C:\Users\Ivan\Desktop\note20250327.docx"

Want to delete multiple files? Just add the file paths separated by spaces. For example:

wisefd "C:\Users\Ivan\Desktop\test1.txt" "C:\Users\Ivan\Desktop\test2.txt"
