rd /s
Removes the entire directory tree, whether it has files in it or not, protected or not, etc. The best, and fastest way, to kill a directory in NT based OSes.“Inside every sane person there’s a madman struggling to get outâ€

It's down to about 60 minutes remaining to delete the badmail directory. I can't even imagine how many files that is.
What I like about doing this with explorer is that it gives me some status info. I don't think I'd get the same doing this from a command prompt.P.S. You've been Spanked!Comment

isn't there a smartdrive/cache program in dos? IIRC that will speed things up considerably.The Welsh support two teams when it comes to rugby. Wales of course, and anyone else playing EnglandComment

Yeah but it's already loaded in windows.
I know what you're talking about though. Even relatively small directories would take a long time to delete in DOS if you didn't have smartdrv loaded.P.S. You've been Spanked!Comment
