- Delete(V1.3, 2.x, 3.x...in C: directory))
-
-
-
- NAME
- Delete - Delete any number of files or directories.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- Delete [Files] [ALL] [Q=QUIET]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Under 1.3 you can only delete up to ten files or
- directories with a single Delete command. Wildcards are
- acceptable.
-
- Under 2.x/3.x you can specify any number of files to
- delete on the command line, and you can also use wildcard
- patterns for any or all of these files.
-
- OPTIONS
- ALL
- By default, you can only Delete empty directories.
- If you wish to Delete a directory and everything it
- contains, you can specify this option on the command
- line. Note that directories may contain other
- directories, which themselves may contain directories or
- files: This option will delete that entire branch of the
- directory tree, including these additional directories
- and files.
-
- Q=QUIET
- If you use the ALL switch, or if you specify wildcard
- patterns, Delete displays a message with each file that
- it deletes. This option causes Delete to do its work
- silently, though error messages are still reported.
-
-
- FORCE
- If the 'd' protection bit is set for a file or
- directory then that file is protected from deletion. But,
- by using the FORCE keyword, any file will be deleted
- including the ones that are 'protected'.
-
-
- EXAMPLE
- 1. Delete all files in the current directory
-
- Delete #?
-
-
- 2. Deletes all files in the directory which start
- with this or that.
-
- Delete (This|that)#?
