Removing a directory in ms dos help!?

Question

I'm trying to remove directories with a 2 part name. Ex. I use RD /s as the command which i know works. But i forgot what the command is to use for a 2 part directory name. Ex. that i tried: RD /s Sportsbook.com Lite ....It then said couldnt find directory file. Please Help! Thank You.

Answer 1

You could try using the short name rather than the long name for the directory or file. First use

dir /x

and the short name will be displayed. For example, the C:\Program Files\ directory has a short name of C:\Progra~1 if you use the "dir" command with the "/x" flag. After you have the short name, then use that instead of the longer name.

Answer 2

Have you tried quotes? - rd /s "sportsbook.com lite"

Answer 3

Try "deltree" or could be "del tree" i've forgotten it been a while
