Better way to delete files?

[The_KiD]

I have about 600 directories to delete, each with an unspecified amount of subdirectories.

Selecting them all then shift+del takes an absolute age to bring up the "deleting blah" prompt.

Then somewhere in there is a file it cannot delete, so instead of continuing past that file the whole thing has to start again.

I have been at this for ******* hours!!!! please tell me there is a better way, some untility that will delete and wont just stop if it finds one file it doesnt like?

Now there's a blast from the past Bledd

the RD command, I had forgotten it even existed.

Thanks for prompting me and it works like a charm
