how to delete folder in dos console without list all contents deleted?

Question

In windowsxp, I use "del /s /q myfolder" to delete a big folder. It will list all files and folders being deleted. is there a way to avoid that long display list? thanks,

Answer 1

rmdir /s /q myfolder

Answer 2

or rmdir del /s /q myfolder > nul

Which is the equivalent of the Unix/Linux's /dev/null which throws away any outputs as they are redirected to a black hole of a bit bucket...

Edit: Thanks Heinzi for my stoopid error....I have struck out the rmdir and replaced it with del :)

Hope this helps, Best regards, Tom.
