Maybe this is a silly question, but i have a few million files i need to delete but i can't just reformat the volume.
Right now the fastest thing i can think of is
nice -20 rm -Rf /folder-i-want-to-delete
is there a better or faster way to do this?
No, but if you want to re-use the directory name, rename it before removing it: mv folder-i-want-to-delete _removed_folder rm -fr _removed_folder & keep working...
