Now for something a little different... a DOS command!

Posted At : April 11, 2008 8:22 PM | Posted By : David

I had a situation where because of the incredible LONG file names generated by a ColdFusion application, I couldn't delete them.

I kept getting WindowsXP telling me that it couldn't find the file.

I thought I would use the DOS command "deltree", but discovered that the WindowsXP DOS doesn't come with this command.

But this works...

RD [Your dir here] /S /Q

be careful cause no prompts or nothing. RD is the Dos Command for Remove Directory.

This command comes with no Warranty, implied or otherwise!
