Deletes a directory along with all of the files and subdirectories that it contains. Normally, it will ask for confirmation of the potentially dangerous action. Since the RD (RMDIR) command can not delete a directory if the directory is not empty (except in Windows NT & 10), the DELTREE command can be used to delete the whole directory.
On MS-DOS, the command is available in versions 1 and later. [13] It is also available in the open-source MS-DOS emulator DOSBox. Datalight ROM-DOS also includes an implementation of the del and erase commands. [14] While Digital Research DR-DOS supports del and erase as well, it also supports the shorthand form era, which derived from CP/M.
An undocumented feature allowed the user to append a trailing "/" character to a directory name in order to preserve the directory but remove everything underneath it. [9] In theory, deleted material could be recovered. [8] Datalight ROM-DOS [10] also includes an implementation of the DELTREE command.
All operating systems include commands for deleting files (rm on Unix and Linux, [1] era in CP/M and DR-DOS, del/erase in MS-DOS/PC DOS, DR-DOS, Microsoft Windows etc.). File managers also provide a convenient way of deleting files. Files may be deleted one-by-one, or a whole blacklist directory tree may be deleted.
If rd/rmdir gets executed without regard to case sensitivity and Windows chooses the legitimate folder to delete, the only folder left is the undesired one. Windows then uses this folder instead of the previously legitimate one to execute programs, and one may be led to believe it contains legitimate data.
