 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      The delete directory command deletes a directory.  The directory
      cannot contain any object entries, soft links, or child pointers.  The
      master replica must be the only remaining replica in the cell.  Use
      the delete replica command if you need to remove read-only replicas.

    Privilege Required    [Toc]    [Back]
      You must have delete permission to the directory and write permission
      to the clearinghouse that stores the master replica of the directory.
      The server principal needs administer permission to the parent
      directory or delete permission to the child pointer that points to the
      directory you intend to delete.

 NOTE    [Toc]    [Back]
      This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may
      not be provided in future releases of DCE.
