Question Problem deleting a Dir after XCOPY

Does anybody know how I can delete a source folder after copying a dir to a DVD using the following:

xcopy c:\test\. f:\0708071 /s /e

Alll the files and folders move to the DVD but I want to delete the source Dir after. Any ideas or suggestions on how to do this?
