Suppressing dialogs when deleting files or folders

[Guest]

In cases where I want to delete a large folder and am sure that I want to
bypass dialogs about ".exe files", "read only files", etc., how can I issue
the delete command so that the dialogs don't pop up after I have walked away
from my computer?

del *.* /q

There is a general rule: Just about all command line
commands have inbuilt help that you access like so:

del /?
xcopy /?
md /?

Hello,

I am guessing this should work. Right click on the recycle bin icon and select properties and
uncheck "Display delete confirmation dialog".
