I agree.  On certain occasions, I use DELTREE to remove the windows
directory  in preparation for a REINSTALL.  I would add that deltree'ing
application folders should ONLY be done in conjuction with the windows
folder; otherwise, there is too much junk left over.

I wonder if Jun would share with us his reasons for saying NEVER use
deltree?

With careful planning, deltree works fine

Why won't deltree work? If you kill all of the windows files (including
registry, etc) and do a reinstall, what difference does it make if you
format the drive or not. Admittedly you will still have to reinstall most
of
your apps to get them working properly.

Not criticizing, just curious.
