Deleting Double Space:
To remove DOS 6.0 Double Space from your computer, At the DOS Prompt (C:\>) type DBLSPACE /LIST. In the CVF Filename column, the drive letter preceding the file name(s) similar to DBLSPACE.000 is the uncompressed host drive. Delete unnecessary files from your local hard drive(s), Including the windows swap file, If any.
Log onto each compressed drive, and enter DBLSPACE /SIZE to reallocate its free space to its host drive. Then XCOPY as many files and directories as you can from each compressed drive to its host (XCOPY C:\*.* H:/S FOR EXAMPLE). If you can't copy all of a compressed drive's files to its host, delete the files and directories you did copy, shrink that drive again using DBLSPACE /SIZE, and copy more files. Repeat this procedure until the uncompressed drive holds all your files.
If you're removing a compressed C: drive, copy C:\COMMAND.COM to the root of its uncompressed host drive. Then, for each host, log to the host's root directory and type DELTREE DBLSPACE.* to remove its compressed drives. Remove references to DBLSPACE from CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT, reboot your PC, and run DEFRAG
