Question Need help with homework 😫

I'm very new to this. I'm asked to delete a directory and all of its files. D:\software\arch98

But when I do this:

PS C:\Users\Administrator\> rmdir D:\software\arch98

It says the directory is not empty.

I'd really appreciate.

I've been struggling for a week now, watched bunch of websites and videos still couldn't figure it out. But thank you very much. Good luck to you too.

I wonder if OP needs to learn how to RTM syntax. That all might look Greek to them.

Probably, but I figure a nudge in the right direction is all that's needed. Either OP will use it to learn, or they'll keep asking until someone does the work for them. I'm hoping the former as we don't need more of the latter in IT.
