Issue
I want to delete a complete directory structure, but I don't know if the files it contains are in use. But RMDir ... /R /REBOOTOK doesn't work.
Cause
You can't use the /R and /REBOOTOK switches at the same time.
Solution
Use Delete /REBOOTOK (works with wildcards) and use RMDir /REBOOTOK on an empty directory, or a directory that's about to become empty after a reboot.
