delete -- destroy files or directories
|
|
|
|
syntax: delete <pathname> [-u]
|
|
|
|
ex: delete this
|
|
delete =.0 -u
|
|
delete ?:dir
|
|
|
|
Permanently destroys the specified file or directory. Wildcards
|
|
are allowed.
|
|
|
|
Before destroying a directory, the 'size' command is automatically
|
|
used to compute the total size of the directory and everything in
|
|
it, and you are given a chance NOT to destroy the directory.
|
|
|
|
-u unlocks a file before trying to destroy it. When deleting a
|
|
directory, -u unlocks each file before it is destroyed; otherwise
|
|
any locked file in a directory will cause delete to stop with only
|
|
some of the files deleted.
