How to delete 8 million files
I'm not exaggerating.
Apparently some Window Media Player service went beserk (probably over some time), and has created eight million files in .....\LocalMLS
Select this in any explorer or explorer alternate, click delete, and wait. For a very long time.
Use DOS CMD prompt, navigate to the directory, type either RMDIR /s or DEL *.JPG, and wait. For a very long time.
Days - and, as far as I can tell, not much useful has happened.
It's possible that these commands have to first make sense of the directory, then act on it.
Doesn't seem likely that anything is going to make sense of this.
I've looked for a utility (or command) that sort of acts like an axe (or a sledgehammer), but I've come up empty.
Thoughts are welcome.
