A: In general you have to enter two delete commands or one with two
arguments:

An example, you want to delete only the "deleteme" tree:

$ dir

Directory DISK$USER:[USER]

deleteme.DIR;1      sub.DIR;1

Total of 2 files.
$

$ del/tree [.deleteme...]*.*.*
$ del/tree deleteme.DIR;

$! Yes, you want the /TREE in the second delete command!

or
$ delete/tree [.deleteme...]*.*;*,[]deleteme.dir;

A "/RECURSIVE deleteme.DIR;1" would be simpler (and more logical to me).
