Cannot Use DELTREE Command to Remove Folder in MS-DOS ModeID: Q187718
|
When you attempt to use the DELTREE command to delete a folder with a path whose length exceeds 67 characters in MS-DOS mode, the folder may not be removed.
This behavior occurs because you can create a path length of up to 259 characters in Windows, but the MS-DOS-mode file system does not support a folder path length that exceeds 67 characters.
To resolve this issue, delete the folder using Windows. For information
about how to delete a folder using Windows, click Start, click Help, click
the Index tab, type delete, and then double-
click the "files or folders" topic.
If you are using Windows 98 double-click the "deleting files, folders"
topic.
