- You can use File Manager to delete subtrees.
-
- Of course this doesn't help if you're trying to do this from a
- batch file. There is a "del /s" that will remove the files but not the
- dirs if that will help.
-
- Help still shows "rm /S dir" as OK to do but it doesn't work on my
- system either.
