If you have a directory called TEST.DIR that you want to delete, issue the
following commands:
 
$ SET FILE/PROT=(O:RWED) TEST.DIR
$ DELETE TEST.DIR;
 
The first command will set the protections on the directory to give the
(O)wner the protections of: (R)ead, (W)rite, (E)xecute, and (D)elete.  The
second command, of course, deletes the directory.  BTW, the directory must
be empty before you can delete it.
