Actually, DEL .. will succesfully delete the contents of the parent 
directory, while leaving subdirectories intact.  Depending on the 
version of DOS, it may or may not ask you "Are you sure?" before doing so.

Before DOS 5 you needed to RD (or RMDIR) each sub directory 
individually, if you wanted to get rid of the entire branch.  DOS 5 
introduced the DELTREE command, and Newer versions of Windows after 
Win2000 got rid of it, probably in favor of the pointy-clicky method of 
deleting directories.
