allowed.
Examples
Datalight DELTREE deletes one or more directory trees. For example, to delete all files and
directories in the tree C:\TEMP, enter
DELTREE C:\TEMP.
You can also use DELTREE to delete individual files, one at a time, using wildcards. For

files and subdirectories regardless of their attributes. Multiple files and/or
subdirectories may be specified.
