Try PICNIX.  This is a series of UNIX like utilities that I use
regularly.

It is available (usually three files ) from most MSDOS ftp sites.

I use a program called DELNODE.  I'm not sure where to find it, though.
Try garbo.uwasa.fi or SIMTEL20.army.mil.

I use this utility (found on SIMTEL20), but I guess everyone else has their
personal favorite:

Directory PD1:<MSDOS.DIRUTL>      
 Filename   Type Length   Date    Description
==============================================
RM11_YG.ARC   B    5760  890716  Like Unix 'rm', delete files, recursive, safe

PC Magazine also has an 'rm' - either on their utility disks,
or from their BBS on Compuserve (not much use from Austria, tho.)

Makes you wonder why DOS has xcopy /s 
but not the logical inverse: rm -r

Windows 3.0 provides extensive directory maniputation tools including
prune/graft and rm style functions in the file manager.

If you want command line procedures look out for exdel && movedir which
(hopefully) should be appearing in c.b.i.p soon.

		hope this helped,
