'''Delete''' - Deletes one or more files/directories

FILE/M/A, ALL/S, QUIET/S, FORCE/S, FOLLOWLINKS/S
<nowiki>
FILE - file, directory or pattern-matching files to delete
ALL - if specified, deletes sub-directories as well
QUIET - suppresses error/warning messages
FORCE - if file is write-protected, un-protect it first
FOLLOWLINKS - if links are detected, will follow the links</nowiki>
NOTE: MorphOS does not request confirmation of deletions.
Do not use pattern matching to delete things if your are not familiar
with the procedure; deleted items cannot be recovered,
unless you have an up-to-date backup of the items deleted.
<nowiki>
Example: SYS:> Delete Dh0:not_important_stuff/#? ALL FORCE
deletes all the files on Dh0:not_important_stuff,
even those set as not deletable.</nowiki>
