If you have windows after version 95, you technically do not need Autoexec.bat. Also, when you delete a file it is NOT necessarily gone. It is simply "labled" available on your disk space untill another file takes its place. Just simply save documents or anything to your drive and make sure you empty the recycle bin(You can also delete the files using DOS).
