rmtree (root, prt, skip)
- Deletes subtrees from the directory structure, returning the number of files successfully deleted. Symbolic links are treated as ordinary files. Takes the following arguments:
- root
- Root of the subtree to delete or reference to a list of roots. The roots, and all files and directories below each root, are deleted.
- prt
- Boolean. If true,
rmtree prints a message for each file, with the name of the file and whether it's using rmdir or unlink to remove it (or if it's skipping the file). Default is false.
- skip
- Boolean. If true,
rmtree skips any files to which you do not have delete access (under VMS) or write access (under other operating systems). Default is false.
