CMD is an inbuilt application in computers which allows to users to carry out functions which are not present in settings or normal apps in the computer. CMD which stands for command prompt allows the user to input commands which brings these function to life.
Below are some essential functions you can carry out using CMD

1. DELETE FILES COMPLETELY FROM YOUR HARD DRIVE.
Deleted files on your PC could still be recovered using recover my files apps. Because when you delete files for your PC marks the files as no longer accessible and the space they took up as free. The files remain recoverable until they’re overwritten with new data, which can take some time.
The cipher command, however, can be used to wipe a directory by writing random data to it. To wipe your C drive, for example, you’d use the command “cipher /w:c”, which will wipe free space on the drive. The command does not overwrite undeleted data, so you will not wipe out files you need by running this command.
There’s also a host of other cipher commands, however, they are generally redundant with Bitlocker enabled versions of Windows.

2. CREATE WIFI HOTSPOT USING YOUR PC
