TFS delete folder and recursive deletes

Question

If I delete a folder in TFS (using the GUI or TF.exe) - everything under that folder is marked as deleted. Is there any point in doing a recursive delete on a folder?? I see the benefits of using the

-recursive

switch if there is a need to pattern match something but for a full folder delete does it make any difference?

Answer 1

It doesn't make any difference for full folder delete. As you can see in documentation the -recursive parameter makes sence only when used with some pattern. If you don't use any the result will be the same - all files and folders marked as 'Deleted'.
