Deleting a folder doesn't work!!!

[xbury.cs at clearstream.com]

Well, im totally surprised again... I need to delete the contents of a 
folder containing temporary items. 
Only the folder is a 60GBs of folders and files and a zillion sub 
folders...

Anyone managed to use the command

delete folder mypath if the folder in question was not empty???

if mypath is a non-empty folder, MC (i guess rev neither) can't delete the 
folder!!! Did I miss a global that permits this?

Is that yet another bugzilla or do i really have to walk through the whole 
(15 GB/250 folders) paths and delete one file by one?

Sometimes I really wonder where the "ease" of use is in computers today...

I managed to do a simple yet yuk-ugly DOS batch to do it but i'd would 
have rather have RR do this  for the security checks which are much easier 
to debug and control than they are in DOS.

AaaaRGH! 20 years of computing science to see it's still the square wheel 
in the stone throwing age...

The dir walking function is way way way too slow in this case - 60GBs of 
data, over 70000 files, etc... 
Delete folder was so "intuitive" compared to the pletoria of statements 
required to do the same thing in other languages... 

Any solutions? 

cheers
Xavier
