Well, granted you need rm.exe for this. But this is besides the point: this thread is about the MSYS _shell_, which is not needed if you have rm.exe. > 'rm' is not distributed with Emacs > > You can install 'rm' from any one of several places, including Cygwin > and MinGW, but it is a separate step.
