RMDIR or RD if you are using the classic Command Prompt (cmd.exe):
```
rd /s /q "path"
```
RMDIR [/S] [/Q] [drive:]path
RD [/S] [/Q] [drive:]path
/S Removes all directories and files in the specified directory in addition to the directory itself. **Used to remove a directory tree.**
/Q Quiet mode, do not ask if ok to remove a directory tree with /S
If you are using PowerShell you can use `Remove-Item` (which is aliased to `del`, `erase`, `rd`, `ri`, `rm` and `rmdir`) and takes a `-Recurse` argument that can be shorted to `-r`
```
rd -r "path"
```
```
rd /s /q "path"
```
RMDIR [/S] [/Q] [drive:]path
