You can also view a list of files in a directory with @kbd{C-x C-d}

On MS-Windows and MS-DOS systems, Emacs @emph{emulates} @code{ls};
see @ref{ls in Lisp}, for options and peculiarities of that emulation.
Use the @kbd{l} command (@code{dired-do-redisplay}) to update the
subdirectory's contents. Use @kbd{C-u k} on the subdirectory header

If you use @kbd{k} with a numeric prefix argument to kill the line
for a file that is a directory, which you have inserted in the Dired
-buffer as a subdirectory, it deletes that subdirectory from the buffer
-as well. Typing @kbd{C-u k} on the header line for a subdirectory
-also deletes the subdirectory from the Dired buffer.

The @kbd{g} command brings back any individual lines that you have
killed in this way, but not subdirectories---you must use @kbd{i} to
to the file in that directory. Precisely which action is taken is
determined by the originating program. Dragging files out of a Dired
buffer is currently not supported.
