Deleting Files and Removing Directories

Use the delete and rd commands to delete files and remove directories. Directories can be
removed even if they contain files and/or subdirectories. To remove a directory that contains
files and/or subdirectories, use the rd rf command. When files or directories are deleted, they
cannot be recovered.
The force option deletes the file or directory without prompting the user to confirm.
Use the CLI syntax displayed below to delete files and then remove directories:
CLI Syntax:
The following displays an example of the command syntax:
A:ALA-1>file cf1:\test1\ # delete test.cfg
A:ALA-1>file cf1:\test1\ # delete abc.cfg
A:ALA-1>file cf1:\test1\test2\ # cd test3
A:ALA-1>file cf1:\test1\test2\test3\ # cd ..
A:ALA-1>file cf1:\test1\test2\ # rd test3
A:ALA-1>file cf1:\test1\test2\ # cd ..
A:ALA-1>file cf1:\test1\ # rd test2
A:ALA-1>file cf1:\test1\ # cd ..
A:ALA-1>file cf1:\ # rd test1
