Script Action: Delete directory
Function
Delete the directory tree, including all files and subdirectories. Optionally,
you can delete the specified directory itself. The directory tree is specified
by a single directory name. The name must have the syntax: \\\\COMPUTER\\Share\\Directory_To_Delete
or DRIVE:\\Directory\\Directory_To_Delete (local drive). If the directory
to delete corresponds with a remote share (\\\\COMPUTER\\Shared_Dir_To_Delete),
you can use the administrative share (\\\\COMPUTER\\DRIVE$) to delete
the directory tree.");
Deployment
This action is typically used in a script that is intended to remove
user accounts and all of the associated resources. More generally, the
action can be used to delete one or more directory trees. To access the
directory that must be deleted, a share is used. In case the specified
directory must be deleted as well, and the directory is specified as \\SERVERNAME\ShareName,
the specified share cannot be used to delete the directory. In this case,
another share must be used to delete the directory. By default, the administrative
share (\\SERVERNAME\C$, \\SERVERNAME\D$) is then used to delete the directory.
If this share cannot be used, an error occurs.
