List Hidden Files

To list hidden files, issue:

dir PATH /A:H /B

where PATH is either specified, in which case the dir command lists the files in that path or PATH is omitted, in which case the files in the current directory are listed.

Delete Hidden Files

In order to remove a hidden file, issue:

del /A:H FILE

where FILE is a hidden file.

To delete recursively, the /S switch can be appended:

del PATH /A:H  /S
