This video shows the speed. It appears to take what seems a second for each file. In this example I am using JP Software's TCC to do this command DEL /SXYZ MYDATA_DAY2
Params mean process Sub dirs, remove empty dirs, Yes to all prompts, del hidden and read only
It is almost like it is doing a wipe on the space the file occupied.
