RMDIR Used to delete directories that are no

Format: RMDIR or RD [D:]Path:DirName

CURRENT drive. As with all directories that you
wish to remove, it must NOT contain any files.
Example: RMDIR \OLDDIR\DATA
Deletes the subdirectory named \OLDDIR\DATA on the
CURRENT drive.The \OLDDIR directory is the PARENT
directory of the \OLDDIR\DATA subdirectory and will
still exist after the removal of the \OLDDIR\DATA
subdirectory.
Example: RMDIR A:\DATABAK
Deletes the subdirectory named DATABAK on the disk-
ette in drive A:.
[*] The ROOT directory on the disk is designated by
the "\" character. The "\" designates that it is
a directory and the absense of a name shows that
it is the first, or ROOT, on the disk.
[*] In order to remove a directory, it must be EMPTY
of all files and not have any subdirectories below
it that have not also been removed. Sometimes it
is necessary to use utility programs that can
detect and delete HIDDEN files in order to erase
them so that a directory can be removed.
