Delrp.exe: Delete File and Reparse Points

This command-line tool deletes a file or directory and any associated NTFS reparse points.

In Microsoft® Windows® 2000, NTFS supports a new file system entity called a "reparse point." Reparse points are used as building blocks by Microsoft and third-parties to enhance NTFS file system behavior. They are used in Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM), and Volume Mount Points.

For HSM, reparse points are used to implement remote storage and other future storage add-ons. For Volume Mount Points, they eliminate drive letter restrictions by using mount points.

Note

Using reparse points, applications can trap open operations against file system objects and run their own code before returning file data.
