How can I delete over 6,000 recursive directories?

Empty Folder Nuker by Simon Wai

Jammo the OrganizedFellow:
Thanks Curt.

I'll give that a shot.

Krishean:
tried this command?

rmdir /S /Q dirnamehere

i have also seen too many nested directories cause filesystem damage

Jammo the OrganizedFellow:
another NOPE.
It doesn't even show the directories.

To make sure I was using it right, I made a bunch of embedded directories, and ran the app.
It showed and removed those with no problem.

Stoic Joker:
Have you made sure you have the necessary permissions for the directories in question? Taken ownership of them etc.?

hehe Been awhile since I've had to use that one for anything. It might not hurt to try this also:

rmdir /Q /S \\.\C:\Target_Folder

Had to use that on a few hidden directory FTP server cleanups (back in the day).
