I wonder if it is "every" file. It will often repeat the question for each new variant (such as read only, hidden, program etc).

If so that's quite normal.

Hello
After del or deltree command,you suppose
to use the switch y, which is to ask DOS
to delete in "silent mode" (without asking Y/N)

C:\deltree /y ... C:\...\Z

it's to delete the folder Z with all items inside .

C:\deltree /y C:\...\Z
