Absolutely love tools like this! This is going to be a big productivity boost in deleting node projects, it takes ages to delete them on windows. Will go through the code and see if it's possible to adapt it for copying folders with many files? That's another time sink :D

@yassersultan Thank you for the kind words 😊, this can be adapted to copying, however the approach would be a tad bit different. Shoudn't take more than a couple hours to figure out though!

?makers You have a bright future ahead of you, keep up the good work. I don't use Windows anymore, but I remember what a pain it was deleting a huge folder. Bravo!

I'm Tejas - a 15 year old developer who built Turbo Delete using Rust. The default windows delete function was way too slow, so I decided to create Turbo Delete, an open source alternative to windows delete which is upto 10x faster. Turbo delete uses parallel directory traversal + multi-threaded deletion based off depth of folders to ensure rapid yet reliable deletion! I would appreciate your support and please feel free to throw in any feedback!

Hi Tejas, Amazing work. But I am getting this error while installation : "HTTP status 404: The requested URL does not exist on the server " 🤔

Amazing project Tejas! Works exactly as advertised. Deleted a project with thousands of files from node_modules in seconds! Definitely a product worth checking out.

It's a useful feature. Does it have an option to delete permanently?

@basharath It deletes permanently by default 🙂

@xtremedevx But in your comparison video you are just deleting it, and turbo is deleting it permanently. Is there a difference in speed while deleting permanently and sending to recycle bin?

@basharath Great question! Sending files to recycle bin is actually faster than permanently deleting them - hence why lots of really quick deletion tools send files to the trash. I wanted to permanently delete files in this case, which is why I don't send files to the recycle bin. So to answer your question, Windows Explorer actually has an advantage over Turbo Delete 😁
