The original implementation method removes files one by one using sftp.
If the latency of the remote server is high, it is very slow.
Thus, it's better to use system's
rmto remove a directory, which maysave a lot of time.
Also, in some supercomputers, it's very slow to remove large numbers of files
(e.g. directory containing trajectory) due to bad I/O performance.
So an asynchronously option is provided.
