In dired.texi:240..253 You can delete empty directories just like other files, but normally Dired cannot delete directories that are nonempty. If the variable @code{dired-recursive-deletes} is address@hidden, then Dired can delete nonempty directories including all their contents. That can be somewhat risky. If the value of the variable is @code{always}, Dired will delete nonempty directories recursively, which is even more risky. Even if you have set @code{dired-recursive-deletes} to @code{nil}, you might want sometimes to delete recursively directories without being asked for confirmation for all of them. This is handy when you have marked many directories for deletion and you are very sure that all of them can safely be deleted. For every nonempty directory you are asked for confirmation; if you answer @code{all}, then all the remaining directories will be deleted without more questions. I think the sentence Even if you have set @code{dired-recursive-deletes} to @code{nil}, you might want sometimes to delete recursively directories without being asked for confirmation for all of them. and the sentence This is handy when you have marked many directories for deletion and you are very sure that all of them can safely be deleted. is reverse order. How is this? ayatakesi <address@hidden>

OK, I clarified the text there, and I'm marking the bug done.
