Syntax:	DELDIR	[ folder name ]
Arguments:	[ folder name ]	Variable or string defining the local folder name to delete.
Options:	/recursive	Delete contents of a folder before trying to delete it.

This script command deletes a local folder. Consider the following example in which a folder is deleted on the E: drive.

DELDIR "e:\newbie"

If the directory is not empty, the above command will fail. To delete the local folder and all files and subdirectories within it, use the /recursive option:

DELDIR "e:\newbie" /recursive

To delete a directory on an FTP site, use the FTPDELETE script command. Use the DELETE command to delete a local file.

After any files have been deleted, the %deletefiles internal script variable is automatically populated with the filenames of all such files.
