Am I missing something, or is the underlying OS command relevant here?

C:\WINDOWS>deltree -?
Deletes a directory and all the subdirectories and files in it.

To delete one or more files and directories:
DELTREE [/Y] [drive:]path [[drive:]path[...]]

  /Y              Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to delete t
+he subdirectory.
  [drive:]path    Specifies the name of the directory you want to dele
+te.

Note: Use DELTREE cautiously. Every file and subdirectory within the s
+pecified directory will be deleted.
