DELTREE--Examples

To delete the TEMP directory on drive C, including all files and
subdirectories of the TEMP directory, type the following at the
command prompt:

       (DOS6.22/Win98)  deltree c:\temp

Deletion in a directory

To delete all files and subdirectories of the TEMP directory on drive C,
type the following at the command prompt:

       (DOS6.22/Win98)  deltree c:\temp\
       (DOS6.22/Win98)  deltree c:\temp\.
       (DOS6.22/Win98)  deltree c:\temp\*.*
       (Win98)          deltree c:\temp\*

To delete (from TEMP directory on drive C) all those files and
subdirectories that do have an extension TMP, type the following
at the command prompt:

       (DOS6.22/Win98)  deltree c:\temp\*.tmp

To delete (from TEMP directory on drive C) only those files and
subdirectories that don't have an extension, type the following
at the command prompt:

       (DOS6.22/Win98)  deltree c:\temp\*.
       (DOS6.22)        deltree c:\temp\*

Notes: If you always give your filenames an extension but never give your
       subdirectory names an extension, which is the usual practice, then
       the above syntax can be used to delete ONLY subdirectories of TEMP
       but leave normal files.

Brief summary of the above:
       All content AND named directory as well: deltree /y c:\temp > nul
       All content but NOT the named directory: deltree /y c:\temp\ > nul
       Subdirs(without EXT) of named directory: deltree /y c:\temp\*. > nul
       All names whose EXTension are exact TMP: deltree /y c:\temp\*.tmp>nul

The following is currently under testing:
       All names whose extension begins with T: deltree /y c:\temp\*.t* >nul
       All names whose extension has M; second: deltree /y c:\temp\*.?m*>nul
       All names whose extension has P as last: deltree /y c:\temp\*.*p >nul
