Kill a directory in DOS
#28
Quote:- Windows: shell command: 'rd /s`

I dislike insisting like this but also must add "/Q" switch so it just goes ahead and does its thing quietly, and doesn't ask any confirmation. To make it more equal to what has to be done on Linux with "root" permissions.

To clarify for some people, I meant files marked with "system" flag of the file attributes, apart from "archive", "hidden", "read-only"... and "directory". "system" flag assumes "hidden" as well such as "IO.SYS" and "MSDOS.SYS" in root directory which were sometimes a PITA to show in a file manager. But of course regular files do not get "directory" flag. This is for MS-DOS but I don't know if Windows still works in this way.
