Commodore PC 10 - How to Rename a Directory

112 MS-DOS User's Reference
To remove all the files in a directory (except for the U." and u .. "
entries),
type del followed by the path of the directory. For exam-
ple,
to delete all files in the \ us.er\ emily directory, type the fol-
lowing command:
del \user\emily
MS-DOS prompts you with the following message:
Are you sure (YIN)?
If you really want to delete all the files in the directory, type Y
(for Yes). If not, type N (for No) to stop the command.
Now
you can use the rmdir command to delete the \user\emily
directory by typing the following command:
rmdir \user\emily
Shortcut To save time you can also use the letters rd for the
rmdir command.
