 XXCOPY can be a powerful deletion tool. You
can use it this way; Create an empty directory called
Fudge. Then use xxcopy c:\fudge /clone c:\groundzero.
Your groundzero directory will now be empty. Then
simply RD c:\fudge. One thing that you might wish to
keep in mind if you are running Windows XP is that XP
may not be happy if you get carried away with this
tactic. I have found that if I delete three or four
gigabytes of files that a real clean up and defrag is
sort of vital or XP will tend to act slow and become
unstable. I generally create huge ammounts of data
when I get involved in backups and compression
operations so I have been to this mountain a few
times.
