AU3 source and exe in attached zip.

There's no GUI as such so no screenshot.

EDIT : Fixed a bug in DeleteFileTI. New attachment DeleteAsTI_20201112.zip.

EDIT 2 : There's a NSIS version in post #3, might be a better version.

Same program using NSIS.

- much smaller exe, 83 KB with embedded NSudoLC.exe
- can be run from command line with one parameter (file/folder path)

Quote

DeleteFileAsTI

 If program is run with no parameter it requests the user to select the file to delete,
 and also displays a confirmation dialog.

 If program is run with a parameter (from command line or bat file) the parameter
 should be one file path WITHOUT QUOTES, no confirmation dialog is displayed,
 so be careful. DO NOT use wildcards :-)
