Removing A File From Computer

Due to pranks with the "startup" file, I now got an unusable computer. (Thanks GameDOW…)
He patched CTRL+T.

I got a floppy ready but how can i remove a file on the computer while running from the floppy?

well, the best thing would probably be to insert

a=io.open("startup", "w")
a:write(" ")
a:close()

this into the floppy startup. It will erase the computer's startup.

Or you could use:

fs.delete("startup")

in the floppy startup file.

I think It will work.

should'nt that be run locally then since the working dirictory is the floppy? That would make the script delete itself. If i could change the workingdirectory to the HDD of the computer it would be all solved.

Ps, please pardon my spelling, its one hour after midnight and im on my iPad.

No in CC all paths are relative to the root directory("/")

In your case you could also just manually remove the file from the shell after you've booted from your disk by typing:

rm /startup

Empty startup file on the disk and then type in on the PC: delete startup

I will use fs.delete("startup") then

I want to do it by script since he did it on multiple computers,

Thank you all for your assistance!
