option is used after db2cli install -cleanup option 
after db2cli install -cleanup option 
 
Steps: 
 
1) Register CLI driver without using appdatapath option 
2) Verify that all the folders are created in the default dir: 
 
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\IBM\DB2 
 
3) Unregister CLI driver with the below option 
db2cli install -cleanup 
 
Below error is thrown:

The IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI unregistered 
successfully. 
The configuration files and folders are removed successfully 
from 
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application 
Data\IBM\DB2\C_ibm_data_server_driver_for_odbc_cli_clidriver 
 
Note: User-created files and sub-folders are untouched (can be 
removed using -force sub-option). 
 
4) Now again run the below command to remove the directories: 
 
db2cli install -cleanup -force 
 
With this command we get the below output: 
 
C:\ibm_data_server_driver_for_odbc_cli\clidriver\bin>db2cli 
install -cleanup -fo

Error: The install operation failed. 
 
But since the folders and sub folders are removed with this 
command proper message should be thrown that folders and sub 
folders are removed. The above error message which we get during 
that command gives and wrong information to user.
