What DEL command would I use to delete a folder which is behind \%allusersprofile%\start menu\programs\ ?

I searched the forums, 11 pages of results...Any help on this would be good, thanks.

to remove a folder you would use RD not DEL
rd /s/q "%allusersprofile%\start menu\programs\games"

the rd stands for remove directory
The /s switch is for all sub directories and files in the dir
The /q switch is for quiet mode, which means it wont ask you for confirmation
