I tested 'rmdir' with the following and it had no problem removing the tree.
rmdir /Q /S "New Folder"
Note that the quotes must be there.
It will fail if anything is accessing the directory. For instance if
explorer is looking at a sub directory and you run the command from the
command line, explorer will block the deletion.
