Comments:

  For performance reasons RD only overwrites the first letter of
  each directory name / filename by a '?'. See DEL or ERASE or
  DELTREE for more information. You can also use RMDIR instead of RD.
  RD will only delete empty directories (no files or directories inside)!
  Do not forget to remove hidden files or directories!
  In DOS directories are shown in capital letters and have NO ending.
  RD is a command internal to command.com and needs no other file
  in order to work.
