To delete from other disk locations within the recovery console. First
you'll need to Control Panel|Admin Tools|Local Security Policy Recovery

Then from the recovery console command line;

|
| Using the Command Console
| After you start the Windows Recovery Console, you receive the following
| message:
| Windows NT(TM) Boot Console Command Interpreter.
|
| WARNING:
|
| This is a limited function command prompt intended only as a system
| recovery utility for advanced users. Using this utility incorrectly can
| cause serious system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall
| Windows to correct them.
|
| Type 'exit' to leave the command prompt and reboot the system.

| Which Windows installation would you like to logon to (enter to abort)?
|
| After you enter the number for the appropriate Windows installation, enter
| the Administrator account password. Note that if you use an incorrect
| password three times, the Windows Recovery Console quits. Also, if the SAM
| database is missing or damaged, you are not able to use the Windows
| Recovery Console because you cannot be properly authenticated. After you
| enter your password and the Windows Recovery Console starts, type exit to
| restart your computer.
| Restrictions and Limitations of the Command Console
| From the Windows Recovery Console you can only use the following folders:
| The root folder
| The %SystemRoot% folder and the subfolders of the Windows installation you
| are currently logged on to
| The Cmdcons folder
| Removable media drives such as CD-ROM drives
| NOTE: If you try to obtain access to other folders, you receive an "Access
| Denied" error message. Also, while you are using the Windows Recovery
| Console, you cannot copy a file from the local hard disk to a floppy disk.
| You can copy a file from a floppy disk or CD-ROM to a hard disk, and from
| one hard disk to another hard disk.

| DEL and DELETE
| del drive: path filename
|
| delete drive: path filename
|
| Use this commmand (where drive: path filename specifies the file to
delete)
| to delete a file. The delete command only operates within the system
| folders of the current Windows installation, removable media, the root
| folder of any hard disk partition, or the local installation sources. The
| delete command does not accept wild card (*) characters.
