Kill a directory in DOS

[TerryRitchie]

Hi,

I have recently been able to Kill Filename$ but I would like a function to Kill Directory$

I know in Command.com and Cmd.exe the DEL command has /S to delete all subdirectories but Dosbox-X does not..

Or could a batch file do it??

Erik.

Use the RMDIR command

Nope. That only deletes an empty directory!?

You can use the RD command at the command prompt with the /S switch but be very careful. Here is a link in the tutorial covering the command prompt commands RD and RMDIR.
