    does closing cmd window terminate the command running?
    « on: December 13, 2011, 03:08:05 PM »
    does closing the cmd window currently running a del /f/s/q filepath
    terminate the deletion process


    i had it running by accident and needed to stop, in my panic i closed the cmd window
    did that stop it?

    also i disconnected myself from that drive
    and shut down.

    i know i lost some files because it was running very fast
    but did i stop it when i closed it?

    When cmd.exe stops, so do any internal commands, and del is internal. You could have used CTRL + C.

      Surely you know how to find how much data and how many files are left?
