disappearing trash files

Again the commands that you should enter in command promt are:

>> cd C:\
>> deltree recycled
>> md recycled

This disappearing trash file thing has happened to me several times. And with me also, it eventually came back as unexplained as it disappeared. I tried your commands to change the directory. I have W2000. When I enter "deltree recycled" it says DELTREE is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I tried it over a couple of times and got the same thing. Any ideas why deltree command does not work on W2000?
