OT- XP delete directories

I'm trying to delete a directory through the command line on a 2003/XP
machine. Del, Delete, and Erase all work on single files- but I can't delete
a directory- without having the Y/N prompt. And I want to script it. The /y
switch doesn't work. And google doesn't know- anyone have a clue?

If the directory is empty, use RD <dirname>. If it's not empty, you have to
empty it first, I believe. DelTree isn't working.

Just remember those good old DOS 6.0 days!

Deltree, del, and erase don't work. And the Dir isn't empty- has several
levels of files/dir's.

I have found a work around though, seems to work ok.

Thank you Neil:) It was a dumb question, but with 480 open tech calls over
here, I really don't have time to play around with stuff :(

Looking forward to princess :D

Um, how about "rd [dirname] /s" ?

The "/s" switch will delete non-empty directories.

Oops:

rd [dirname] /s /q to suppress the confirmation prompt, also.

Why, I'll have you know it's an Eye Bee Em Desktop! 4 megs of RAM & 80
meg HD IIRC. Haven't blown the dust off it in many, many years. I think
it has/had winders installed on it, but it coulda been PCDOS.

Is nerd really 13? Nerd, are you 13? I just find that hard to believe.
Although I guess kids are curious, and he may have stumbled across usenet in
his wanderings.

YES
I am 13, it is not a lie. my ISP provided me with a Usenet server, and I was
wanting to get some information from newsgroups before I got my MCP from
reading a couple of books. I am also very strange. I had pi memorized to the
25th digit when I was 11, and I got my A+ and Net+ when I was 12

I'm not falling for it. The last time I believed someone was
13 on the Internet it got ugly real fast.

Besides, every one knows, only fat, bald middle age white
guys are on the Internet.

Which is especially silly since he could have just bought an IBM AT which
ran at 6Mhz without a turbo card.

ewww, you mean to tell us you were cruising for 13 year olds, only to have
your heart crushed to find out it was really a 300 pound, 47 year old man in

Not all that sill considering the turbo card probably only cost him $1,000
instead of $4,000 for a new AT.

Here's a way to memorize pi to 31 digits:

Sir, I bear a rhyme excelling
In mystic force, and magic spelling
Celestial sprites elucidate
All my own striving can't relate
Or locate they who can cogitate
And so finally terminate.

Arts are OLD. not quite as old as the PC though...
the first computer I ever used was a dual processor capable 486 that had
one 75mhz processor installed. 16 megs of ram, EISA, 2 scsi drives

Intel proprietary case and mobo

Yeah, you just wait you young whippersnapper.

Check out your mother's side of the family. Any bald men there? Your
grandpa maybe?

I'll check back in about 10-15 years and we'll see if you're a baldy, too.
