Creating Directories

The MKDIR command lets you create directories. To create a

LEDGER directory under your root directory, for example, type the

following and press

Enter:

MKDIR\LEDGER

You can abbreviate the name of this command to MD. For example,

to create a SALES directory under the LEDGER directory, type the
following and press

Enter:

MD \ LEDGER\ SALES

Removing Directories

To delete a directory from a disk, use the RMDIR command (or its

shorthand equivalent, RD). For example, to remove the directory

ACCOUNTS, which is subordinate to the directory LEDGER, you
could log onto the LEDGER directory, type the following, and press

Enter:

RD

ACCOUNTS

A directory must be empty before it can be deleted. If it contains any

files or subdirectories, attempting to delete it will produce an error

message.

Changing the Default Directory

To change from one directory to another, use the CHDIR command,

or its shorthand equivalent, CD. For example, to change to the root

directory from anywhere in the directory tree, type the following and
press

Enter:
