Quickly Deleting a Floppy

Want to quickly deleting a floppy disk contents? Open Notepad and then type the following batch commands:

@echo off
attrib -h A:\*.*
deltree /y A:\*.* > NUL
echo BLANKlabel A:

Name it Delete A.bat (or any name as long as the extension is bat) and save it on your desktop (C:\Windows\Desktop).

Now you can insert a floppy into A: drive and execute the batch files by double click on it. It is faster than formatting the floppy.

Note: The symbol between the "BLANK" and "label" in the last line is the pipe symbol, two short vertical lines you can find on your keyboards with the backslash key.
