## Installation

To install use pip:

```bash

xpip install xontrib-free-cwd

# or: xpip install -U git+https://github.com/xonsh/xontrib-free-cwd

```

## Usage

```bash

xontrib load free_cwd

```

Enabling this will allow other programs or

Windows Explorer to delete or rename the current or parent

directories. Internally, it is accomplished by temporarily resetting

CWD to the root drive folder while waiting at the prompt. 

## Known issues

This only works with the prompt_toolkit backend and can cause issues

if any extensions are enabled that hook the prompt and relies on

`os.getcwd()`.

## Credits

This package was created with [xontrib template](https://github.com/xonsh/xontrib-template).
