Ramesh,

What do you mean by a "recursive delete procedure"?

Hi Bob,

Sorry, I mean deleting a directory recursively,
even though it may have files or directories present.
Like in linux it is,

#rm -rf

thanks

There are several such procedures and programs on various freeware archives, the best way I think is to install the DFU utility.
With DFU it is as simple as
DFU delete/directory/tree thisdir
