How to delete all files and subfolders from the Command Line in Windows

I was looking for the Windows equivalent of the Linux command “y| rm -rf” and despite my best efforts couldn’t work it out. We need to use “del”, with a couple of switches to do this recursively and for directories, and also automatically confirm this for every entry. Here it is:

del /s /q *

This will delete everything in the current directory.
