    Talking Anyone know how to quick delete?

    I have like 1000000 files in a folder, does anyone know how to delete that folder in an instant without putting them into recycle bin? It takes too ****en long to process the filenames.

    It's either CTRL-Delete or SHIFT-Delete. I don't know, I have explorer set to never use the bin.

    dos is the BEST way to delete files
    its WAY faster than windows

    just go to dos (cmd or command line)
    and blow them out of orbit
