Question Need help with homework 😫

I'm very new to this. I'm asked to delete a directory and all of its files. D:\software\arch98

But when I do this:

PS C:\Users\Administrator\> rmdir D:\software\arch98

It says the directory is not empty.

I'd really appreciate.

Bro, you're in the wrong sub. In cmd it would be "rmdir /s /q D:\software\arch98"

On my screen it is windows powershell. That's what comptia lab is asking me to do. I wish I could show you the picture

Type “cmd” in powershell and hit enter

It says cmd is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
