Windows XP doesn't really have DOS anymore so it may not work but the command is "rd"

MSDOS cannot read NTFS
 If you are using FAT that would work though

"rd" still works... rd by itself can only delete a directory if the folder is empty. If you use '/s' (rd /s c:\temp) you will delete all of files and subdirectories plus the folder itself... if you use '/q' (rd /q c:\temp) it will not prompt you to confirm.

Why wont the folder delete? If its in use you still may not be able to delete it from a command prompt.
