ARTICLE-ID:Q95997
TITLE :DELTREE: No Error Message If Directory Does Not Exist
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
When the DELTREE.EXE command is executed on a directory that does not
exist, no error message is displayed and you are returned to the
MS-DOS prompt. This behavior can be misleading if you mistype a
directory name--since no error message is displayed, you may think
that the directory you were trying to delete was successfully deleted.
More Information:
If the directory you want to delete is specified correctly with the
DELTREE.EXE command, you will receive the following message:
Delete directory <DirectoryName> and all of its subdirectories?
[yn]
where <DirectoryName> is the name of the directory you want to delete.
You are required to answer "y" to delete the entire subdirectory or
"n" to cancel the operation.
For more information on the DELTREE command, type "HELP DELTREE"
(without the quotation marks) at the command prompt.
