Deletes a specified directory and its contents, or a hierarchy of
 directories and their contents.

 SYNOPSIS

      DELETE SUBTREE tree-name[...]

      [EXCLUDE DIRECTORY directory-name]

 Argument

 tree-name

 The name of the topmost directory in the subtree. The recursion
 notation causes the change to additionally apply to all child
 directories and their contents. When used without the optional
 recursion notation, the change applies only to the specified
 directory. This then behaves just like the delete directory command
 in that the directory must be empty to be deleted.

 directory-name

 The full name of a directory that you want to exclude from deletion.
 When you exclude a directory, its parent directory is preserved.

 Description

 This command deletes the specified directory and its contents,
 or a hierarchy of directories and their contents. Before using
 this command, you must delete all read-only replicas and all
 clearinghouse object entries in any of the affected directories.
 You can use the optional recursion notation (...) to additionally
 delete all child directories and their contents. The optional
 exclude directory argument lets you specify one or more directories
 to exclude from deletion. Multiple directories are specified in the
 following format:

 exclude directory directory-name, directory directory-name,
 directory directory-name

 ACCESS RIGHTS
 You must have read, write, and delete access to the directory you
 specify as well as the contents of the directory. If you use the
 command recursively, you also need read, write, and delete access
 to all child directories (and their contents) of the directory you
 specify.

1  –  example

 The following command deletes the .pjl directory and its contents as
 well as all of its child directories and their contents.

 dns> delete subtree .pjl...
