DOS Rd

DOS Rd

An internal command that removes a directory. Rmdir is an alternate form. Directories must be empty first, and the command must be entered from the previous level or from a non-related directory. To remove the HARRY directory directly off the root, type:

       C:\>rd harry

          or type:

       C:\>rmdir harry

HARRY can also be removed while in another directory by stating the full path to it; for example:

       C:\WORK>rd \harry

For DOS 6 Users: See DOS Deltree to remove directories that contain files and subdirectories.

See DOS directories and DOS abc's.
