file and typing @kbd{d} (@code{dired-flag-file-deletion}).  The deletion flag is visible as a @samp{D} at
the beginning of the line.  This command moves point to the next line,
so that repeated @kbd{d} commands flag successive files.  A numeric
argument serves as a repeat count.

@vindex dired-recursive-deletes
  The variable @code{dired-recursive-deletes} controls whether the
delete command will delete non-empty directories (including their
contents).  The default is to delete only empty directories.

If @code{dired-copy-preserve-time} is non-@code{nil}, then copying with
this command sets the modification time of the new file to be the same
as that of the old file.

@vindex dired-recursive-copies
The variable @code{dired-recursive-copies} controls whether
directories are copied recursively.  The default is to not copy
recursively, which means that directories cannot be copied.
