The DELTREE command deletes one or more directory trees or individual
files.
Syntax
DELTREE [/Y] [drive:]path [[drive:]path[...]]
Remarks
/Y prevents DELTREE from prompting before deleting.
[ drive:]path indicates the name(s) of the file(s) or directory tree(s) to
delete. Wildcards are allowed.
Examples
Datalight DELTREE deletes one or more directory trees. For example, to
delete all files and directories in the tree C:\TEMP, enter
DELTREE C:\TEMP.
You can also use DELTREE to delete individual files, one at a time, using
wildcards. For example, to delete selected files in the current directory,
enter
DELTREE *.*
DELTREE then prompts you for each file it finds, allowing you to choose
whether to delete them.
Caution: Be careful when using wildcards with DELTREE. DELTREE
deletes all specified files and subdirectories regardless of their
attributes. Multiple files and/or subdirectories may be
specified.
