In general, do not attempt to use wildcard expansion under DOS.
Different *programs* expand them in subly different way.  In
particular, DIR is more conservative than DEL, so you can test a
proposed expansion with DIR then delete *more* files than you
expected.  The day I found that out, I decided to resign from
Microsoft.
