Aptiva-PS/1 - Why were all the files on my drive deleted using DELTREE *.* /Y?

Applicable to: United States

The DELTREE command allows you to delete entire directories including all files and subdirectories--with one command. When you press ENTER, DELTREE prepares to delete all files and directories on the current drive. Before it does, it issues a message asking you to verify that you want to delete all the files and directories from the current drive. However, the /Y parameter bypasses this verification message.
