Hello.
Is there an easy way, maybe a program or something, to Delete Directory Tree on older DOS, kinda like DELTREE, which won't work on DOS versions below 6.0.
I am using older DOS versions because installation is a lot faster (6.22 is 3 floppies!) and 6.22 has nothing new that I need.
But, deleting Directory Trees can be a real pain sometimes.
I mostly use DOS 5.0
Thanks in advance.
FreeDOS deltree should have no particular version restrictions.

Otherwise, doesn't dosshell do it?
Thanks, I will try both and get back with the results.
Thanks for help. Deltree of Freedos works!
Like normal DOS, Doshell also can't delete non-empty folders.
You can try:
rd not_empty_folder /q /s

This only works on NT-based operating system, as far as I know.

My go-to tool has been Norton Commander, and this can delete non-empty directories as well.
