Deltree - DOS/Command Prompt Reference
[MS-DOS, Windows 95/98/Me only] Deletes the directory and its containing files and directories.
Syntax
deltree[.exe] [/Y] <directory> [<directory2> ...]
Options
| <directory>, <directory2> | Specifies one or more directory names to delete. |
| /Y | Suppresses the confirmation before deleting the directory. |
Details
This command deletes specified directory and files/directories in its directory. Unlike Windows delete operation, the directory is not moved to the Recycle Bin, so basically the deletion cannot be undone ([MS-DOS] ‘Undelete’ program provides the feature like the Recycle Bin).
[Windows NT series] To delete the directory and its containings, use Rmdir with /S option.
Samples
deltree /Y test
Deletes the directory ‘test’ without confirmation prompt.
