Per VanguardLH:

You'll find deletes go extremely quickly when not using the Recycle Bin.
After spending 22 minutes to copy a folder (and its subfolders)
containing over 4700 files that occupy 23 GB, a normal DEL going through
the Recycle Bin took several minutes (I forgot how long) while a DEL
with the Recycle Bin disabled took under 3 seconds.

Just confirmed that a few minutes ago.

Just a second or two max....

Thanks for that one !

I don't guess there is an alternative to the DEL command.... ?

Or... how about DEL against the parent folder and then re-create the
folder... Would that take any less work ?


Nirsoft may help with: nircmd.exe" EmptyBin


Already mentioned in a prior reply of mine (but might get missed in my
verbose post), as well as using CCleaner from the command line.
TeraCopy can delete without going through the Recycle Bin but I don't
recall if it has a CLI (command line interface). Unlike TeraCopy or
CCleaner, nircmd does not have to be installed, just copied into a
folder (and optionally added to the user or system PATH environment
variable to call from anywhere without needing to specify the path to
it). I even mentioned possibly using a .reg file to disable the Recycle
Bin before the deletes and another .reg to reenable the Recycle Bin
afterward. Pete might just leave the Recycle Bin permanently disabled
for drives where he doesn't care to undelete.


Can't you just bypass the Recycle Bin by holding down the Crtl or Shift
key (can't remember which) while clicking Yes to Confirm Delete dialog
(perhaps need hold key thru entire selection process also)?

Not sure how you would be pressing keys and at the right time when
running a batch file which is what Pete is doing when issuing the
'massive deletes'.
