TITLE :Correcting Illegal Directory Names With DELTREE and MOVE
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
The MS-DOS DEL command cannot be used to delete a directory with a
blank space in the name (for example "C:\MY WORK"). However, you can
use the MS-DOS 6 programs DELTREE and MOVE to delete or rename these
directories.
More Information:
Some utilities and installation programs allow you to create directory
names with illegal characters (such as spaces). Because a directory
name with a space or other illegal character is not expected, DEL was
not designed to work with them.
Using DELTREE to Delete Illegal Directories
-------------------------------------------
The DELTREE program can be used to delete illegal directories. For
example, type the following at the MS-DOS command prompt:
DELTREE "MY WORK"
Note: You must type the quotation marks.
Using MOVE to Rename Illegal Directories
----------------------------------------
The MOVE program can be used to rename illegal directories. For
example, type the following at the MS-DOS command prompt:
MOVE "MY WORK" MY_WORK
Note: You must type the quotation marks.
