Remove multiple files/folders from DOS

So you are in safe mode, and you want to delete files and folders hey?

use this command

RMDIR /S /Q C:\FOLDERNAME

The /s removes all directories and files, and the folder itself
The /q is quiet  mode

So for example if you wanted to delete c:\OMG\cool

You would do RMDIR /S /Q c:\OMG\cool
