How to quickly empty a very full recycle bin?
- by Pekka
I have deleted about half a million files from a folder, and didn't think to press Shift in order to delete them completely straight away.
Now they're clogging my recycle bin, and Windows claims it will take 4 hours to empty it - it claims to do about 68 files per second.
Is there some magic or an alternative method that can speed this up?
Bounty - I'm starting a bounty. The files are still in my bin, as there was no pressing need to get rid of them and this way, I can try out the suggestions presented. I am, however, looking for a way that does not include hard-deleting the contents of the RECYCLER folder - I'm sure that would work, but it feels a bit unclean to me.
