exterminating directories with tidy?

[Steve Wray]

Hi again,

I wish to recursively delete the directory structure

/etc/infrastructure/template/Desktop

Reading the documentation, I arrive at the following;

tidy:
   /etc/infrastructure/template
      pattern=Desktop
      age=0 dirlinks=delete recurse=inf rmdirs=all
                                                                                
which does not delete much at all.

I've tried numerous variations but the only thing that works is a 
shellcommand.

So, I am wondering if tidy can ever be used to completely obliterate a 
directory structure?

Any ideas?

Thanks!
