RD or RMDIR

(from Remove Directory)

Deletes a directory.

RMDIR [/S] [/Q] [drive:]path
RD [/S] [/Q] [drive:]path

Where:

  • /S - Also removes all subdirectories and files of the specified directory.
  • /Q - Does not display confirmation for directory deletion when used with /S.
  • [drive:]path - Specifies the path of the directory to delete.

Without the /S option, only empty directories can be deleted.

Example: Delete the directory C:\All the World and all its contents without asking for confirmation (HELP!!!):

rd /s /q "C:\All the World"

or:

rmdir /s /q "C:\All the World"
