Revision 5: Cleanup & Attributes

System maintenance is critical — removing unnecessary files and protecting important ones. In this revision, you'll combine the rd (remove directory) and attrib (attributes) commands to clean up your workspace and secure key files.

Use rd with /S (recursive) and /Q (quiet mode) to delete a cache folder and all its contents in one command. This is essential for maintenance — preventing confirmation prompts lets you automate cleanup tasks.

The /S flag ensures recursive deletion — all subdirectories and files inside cache are removed. The /Q flag suppresses confirmation dialogs, perfect for batch operations.

Now protect an important file by making it read-only using the attrib command. This prevents accidental modifications.

The R (Read-Only) attribute in the directory listing shows that settings.ini is now protected. Attempting to delete or modify it will fail until you remove this attribute with attrib -R.
