QUICK DELETION OF THOUSANDS OF FILES

[mcarpeneto]

Periodically, I need to delete thousands of files that are being backed up
daily to an external drive. I do not want to reformat the drive. Does anyone
know of a program that will delete directories and files faster than the
Windows XP Delete command? I would really like one that does unattended
deletes without asking any questions about whether I want to delete
particular files, such as DAT files.

Thanks

You might create a Batch file and use the RMDir command with it's
qualifiers /S /Q. ( Just be careful to invoke it in the correct folder
path ).
