   Hi folks,   
      
   In DOS 6.22 was the command "deltree". Those were the days. :-))   
      
   and since win7 or already in XP?   
      
   it gives the "RD" or "RMDIR" command.   
      
   This command has new options since 6.22 -> /S and /Q   
      
   /S = Removes all directories and files in the specified directory in   
   addition to the directory itself. Used to remove a directory tree.   
      
   /Q = Quiet mode, do not ask if OK to remove a directory tree with /S.   
      
   after "RD" you can "MKDIR" your deleted folder ;-)   
      
   better geht nicht
