User Feedback :: Deleting files from a FAT32 partition.

Hi,
I hope this is the right place to ask questions?

I'm trying to wipe clean my windows partition (FAT32) with "emelfm", but I can't delete all files. Please help me?

Also is it possible to now the progress when I'm copying files? Now all I get is that little watch mouse cursor for 40 mins while making a backup of 15000 files.

If it a fat32 drive and you want to delete everything

You can do this...say the mounted drive is /mnt/hda1

rm -rf /mnt/hda1 and that will erase EVERYTHING in that drive!

be very very very careful with this..one wrong move and it can be disasterous!
