I used type instead of cat and I used del instead of rm. When I use del, after I press Y to remove, I press dir and there is still fb in existence. I don't know why but it's not getting removed.

Hi everyone! A fantastic student has written up some information about how to use those Powershell commands in the command prompt. You can find it here

I have the same issue. I found rmdir but it wont work if the directory has anything in it. Also I'm trying to do this through cmd, not the powershell as I don't want to enable that remote option.
