Delete(V1.3, 2.x, 3.x...in C: directory))
NAME
Delete - Delete any number of files or directories.
SYNOPSIS
Delete [Files] [ALL] [Q=QUIET]
DESCRIPTION
Under 1.3 you can only delete up to ten files or
directories with a single Delete command. Wildcards are
acceptable.
Under 2.x/3.x you can specify any number of files to
delete on the command line, and you can also use wildcard
patterns for any or all of these files.
OPTIONS
ALL
By default, you can only Delete empty directories.
If you wish to Delete a directory and everything it
contains, you can specify this option on the command
line. Note that directories may contain other
directories, which themselves may contain directories or
files: This option will delete that entire branch of the
directory tree, including these additional directories
and files.
Q=QUIET
If you use the ALL switch, or if you specify wildcard
patterns, Delete displays a message with each file that
it deletes. This option causes Delete to do its work
silently, though error messages are still reported.
FORCE
If the 'd' protection bit is set for a file or
directory then that file is protected from deletion. But,
by using the FORCE keyword, any file will be deleted
including the ones that are 'protected'.
EXAMPLE
1. Delete all files in the current directory
Delete #?
2. Deletes all files in the directory which start
with this or that.
Delete (This|that)#?
