RMDir function question

Do you have to Delete the contents of a directory before calling RMDir, or can you just delete everything using the RMDir function?

Thanks-

Using the parameter "/r" you can delete the hole directory.

code:


RMDir /r $INSTDIR

;This will remove the $INSTDIR directory and its files.
