Hi ,
I have trouble deleting large number of files and folders on Linux
is there a way to delete whole directory structure faster as
classical approach "rm -rf cache/*" is very slow.
the thing is that I have cache folder with many dirs sub dirs and
files eg
/cache/aa/aa/aaaaasdlkasd_xxx.cache , aaaaasdasd_xxx.cache //upto
1000 files in this folder
.....
/cache/aa/bc/aabcasdlkasd_xxx.cache , aabcasdasd_xxx.cache //upto
1000 files in this folder
....
/cache/zz/zz/zzzasdlkasd_xxx.cache
I would like to delete everything from cache folder in some other
faster way if possible?
