About the RMDIR Command

The R:BASE RMDIR command is similar to the operating system RMDIR command. For more information about the RMDIR command, refer to your operating system manual.

You cannot remove the root directory or the current directory. Before you can remove a directory, all files and directories in that directory must be removed. To delete files from a directory, use the ERASE command. When a file path includes more than one directory, the last directory listed is removed.

Examples

The following command removes the OLDDATA directory from the current drive.

RMDIR olddata

The following command removes the OLDDATA directory from the /SALESDEP/YTDSALES file path on drive C:.

RD c:\salesdep/ytdsales/olddata
