Solution 1:[1]

Try this at the command prompt assuming you're already in the directory containing the file.

echo.> testFile.js

Solution 2:[2]

Instead of my previous answer try this.

del testFile.js
COPY CON testFile.js

You will get just a blinking cursor. Press F6 and then enter. Your zero byte file will be created.

Solution 3:[3]

This will clear the file completely:

TYPE NUL > testFile.js
