Trying to remove a directory I made inside max.
Not sure why its not removing it. I’ve tried something similar outside of max and it worked.

doscommand "rmDir C:/Program Files/Autodesk/3ds Max 2012/Scripts/MyTools /s /q"

doscommand "rmDir \"C:\\Program Files\\Autodesk\\3ds Max 2012\\Scripts\\MyTools\\\" /s /q"

Yes just after I posted this I figured out I was missing the extra slash to tell the dos prompt the entire string

(
DOSCommand "rmdir \"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2012\Scripts\MyTools\" /s /q"
)

Thanks
