Support and Feedback / Re: Delete folders with content

Thanks Mathias... I've started as administrator, but the File operations log simply tells me:
2025-12-23 12:07:00.982 Failed to delete folder (163) : XXXXXXXX
2025-12-23 12:07:00.982 Handle file Operations error : 163 (0) - Can not delete directory. It is not empty.

I'm not using any particular security software...

Support and Feedback / Delete folders with content

« on: Yesterday at 11:50:11 »

Hi there, I'm using current version (15.7) of MC. I'm trying to delete folders with some content (files and/or subfolders). MC forbids me to do this (telling me "Folder is not empty! cannot delete folder XXXX", allowing only to skip, skip all, retry and abort. Since I've a deep nested structure, I should go to the bottom of the structure and deleting level by level - very time-consuming. Is there an option to "force" MC to delete the folder - whatever it contains? Thanks in advance
