Fast deletion of folders
How to quickly delete large folders and files from the Windows command prompt using rmdir and del as faster alternatives to Windows Explorer.
Problem
If you try to delete large folders with explorer it could run for several minutes. Also when you try to suppress the moving to recycle bin via SHIFT + DEL.
Solution
From all variants to do this, rmdir in command prompt is my favorite
rmdir /s/q <foldername>
btw: deleting of files with good old DOS-del is also a fast way – particularly when you redirect the output:
del /f/s/q *.* > nul
