 @section Subdirectory Switches in Dired

 For instance, updating or killing a subdirectory that was inserted

 You can make Dired forget about all subdirectory switches and relist
 all subdirectories with the buffer's default switches using
 @kbd{M-x dired-reset-subdir-switches}.  This also reverts the Dired buffer.
