"rd" is the command used to remove or delete directories or folders. The basic syntax of the command is as follow:

rd folderpath\Foldername

rd has only three switches, shown in the following table:

Command	Description
rd	Deletes the folder if it is empty. Look the following example: Note: You can use rmdir command to remove directories and folders, instead of using rd command. See the following example: If the folder is not empty, you will get the following error message:
rd /s	Deletes the folder and all files and subdirectories in the folder. If there are any folders or files in the folder, you will be prompted to confirm the deletion. Look at the following example:
rd /s /q	This will delete the folder and all files and subdirectories in the folder. It will not prompt you to confirm the deletion. Look the following example: The /q switch is useful when using the rd command within a batch file. It will automatically do the action without requiring a confirmation.
