   • 
     

6. RD (Remove Directory):

   • Removes a directory.
   • rd [directory_name]
   • 
     

7. DEL (Delete):

   • Deletes one or more files.
   • del [file_name]

These commands provide a basic understanding of common operations in a DOS environment. Keep in mind that DOS commands are case-insensitive, and paths are separated by backslashes ().
