If that works unexpectedly, you don't lose anything worthwhile. <
The command DELTREE erases directories and all files within
them -- at least, in DOS 6.22.
If you don't have DELTREE, you could always make up a batch
file (call it something imaginative like DT.BAT) to erase all
files in the specified directory and then remove that directory.
Likely you'd have to run it as many times as you have
subdirectories, but it could save a lot of typing.
