QuickFolderDelete

Are you tired of watching explorer delete file by file when deleting big directories? This tool solves this problem by using rmdir instead of deleting files individually. I wanted to have a nice shell integration so when using this it will show a question prompt first. When it fails to delete the directory it shows the error from rmdir and also allows to retry the attempt.

Shell Integration.

1. Open the registry and create a new Key under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell call it QuickFolderDelete.
2. Modify the Default of Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\QuickFolderDelete and set the value to Quick Delete
3. Create a new key called command under Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\QuickFolderDelete
4. Set the Default to "<PATH_TO_QUICKFOLDERDELETE>" %1, the it should look like following: "F:\Tools\QuickFolderDelete.exe" "%1" That's all. Now you should see a new menu when right clicking on folders called Quick Delete

Compiling

The project uses CMake, just invoke cmake . -B build in the root directory and it will create the Visual Studio project.
