del3

del3 is a tiny Command Line utility designed to act as a replacement for the notorious DELTREE command. The latter was commonly used with Windows 98 to automatically remove a directory along with all sub-directories and contained files via commands. However, due to unknown reasons it was removed starting with Windows 2000.
According to some users, the DELTREE command still appears to be working with 32-bit versions of Windows, but it is not supported on any 64-bit versions. Therefore, if you have a virtual machine or your operating system is currently having this architecture it does not hurt to pop up Command Line and try out deltree /?.Designed as a replacement for DELTREE, the tool comes with the advantage that it works perfectly fine on 64-bit versions of Windows. Then again, it is advisable that you have .NET Framework 3 to use it.
As far as the commands are concerned, you can remove all directories and files in a specified folder with or without the directory itself. It is worth mentioning that you can include arguments in your commands, as providing none usually deletes the files in the directory but leaves the sub-directories and the files inside alone. You also have a simulation mode which you can use to find out what the app is going to delete when using a certain command. Pay attention, as the delete occurs without confirmation.
