Xdel 5.3.0

The NTFS filesystem of NT4/W2K/WXP supports the junction/symbolic link functionality. Deleting subdirectories recursivley can be done by various of tools, but only xdel is aware of junctions/symbolic link, and instead of crawling recursivley down a junction/symbolic link, xdel simply unlinks the junction/symbolic link, and so does no harm to contents chained into a hierarchy via junctions/symbolic link.

Furthermore xdel.exe properly deletes very long pathnames with more than 256 characters.

Manual

xdel.exe is a typical command line utility.

Recursivly delete directory hierarchies. e.g.:

`xdel x:\dir\dir2`

In the above example the directories and files below x:\dir\dir2 are deleted.
