I guess it's how you look at it. Typically (and correctlly) the root C:\ is the top or highest level. When you say sub-directory, think about as in sub-basement, or subordinate. Those directories are BELOW the root. You have to be at atleast the next higher level in order to do a rmdir or deltree command. Remember the old CD.. syntax? CD.. brings you up one level at a time. |
