If a folder name is given instead of a file, all files in the folder will be deleted, but the folder itself will not be removed.
Error levels: DEL will return an Errorlevel of 0, irrespective if the delete succeeds or fails for any reason.
(If you delete files using PowerShell then a True/False return code ($?) will be set correctly.)
Error levels
If the files were successfully deleted %ERRORLEVEL% = 0
Bad or no parameters given = 1
Examples:
Delete "Hello World.txt"
DEL "Hello World.txt"
