How can you recursively delete files and directories in windows? ��� ����� ���� ������ ��� ������� ������� �� �����ҿ You can select them in explorer (in windows) and delete it, right? ����� �� ����� ���� �� �������� (������) ������ � ���� ����

The problem with the explorer approach is that if one or more files and / or directories cannot be deleted then the whole process fails. ������� �� �������� ����� �� ��� ��� ����� �� ���� ������� � / �� ���� �� ���� ����� �� ��� ������� ������. Try cleaning your Local Settings\temp directory to see an example. ���� ����� ������ ���� ������� \ ���� ���� ���� �����. Most likely it will fail in windows explorer. ���� ���� ���� ��� ���� �� ������ ��������.

Also I have seen it fail when large number of files are selected. ��� ���� ���� ��� ����� ��� ��� ���� �� ������� ��������. It is slow and not usable from command line. ���� ����� ���� ����� ��������� �� ��� �������.

(In Unix/linux the problem is much simpler - rm -rf * ) (�� ������ / ����� �������� �� ���� ����� -- ������ ������ - �������� ��������� *)

However for the moment let's see how we can simplify this on windows using a bit of java. ���� ���� ���� ��� ��� ���� ����� ��� ��� ������ �������� ����� �� ����. I present with with a superfast method to delete multiple files and directories from command line recursively. ��� �� ��� ������� �� superfast ���� ����� ������ ������� �� ��� ������� ���� ������.
