I have a directory called "somedir" Inside this directory there are thousands of subdirectories(20,000+) and even more number of small files(100,000+) If I do a \rm -rf somedir, it takes hours. Is there a way to quickly delete this directory. Currently I use Konqueror and it does the job more quickly, but still its pretty slow. regards Tanveer
