what is the DOS command to delete the directory. Let's say I have a
directory called C:\hello, and there are subdirectories under C:\hello also.
I want to delete all files and folders

I tried rmdir C:\hello, and it has error "the directory is not empty."

Use the /S switch. Type rd /? at a prompt.

Matt, for future reference, the W2k Start/Help/Contents/Reference
has the list, definition, and syntax of all the built-in MSDOS
commands.
