Remove folder
(1/1)

Hi
This tiny Python script utility is using Gnu rm.exe to forcefully and peacefully removes folders. I think it works better than windows delete. It will popup a window where you put the path to intended delete folder. For now it does only one folder(recursively) at a time. I made this utility because I was sick of waiting for Window`s delete to figure out what to delete.

Use it on your own risk. I use it here happily :)

Why depend on an external tool instead of coding the removal routine in Python? And when using an external tool, why depend on gnu rm instead of Windows' built-in RMDIR /S ?

Well because it was easier to just use Gnu tool rather than trying to write my own recursive Python folder deletetion. I was just trying to get something going asap.
I just like the Gnu rm`s options and I use other Gnu Core Utils here as well, so it was just a personal taste.
I will just make one version with RMDIR instead later today.

I just tried using "rmdir" inside my script, I could not get it to work. I think it is because Popen does not pass rmdir as a command. Since I do not use it myself I wont dwell around it much really.
edit: I fixed the issue, it was a shell issue. Here is the windows version but it does not have any verbose mode.
