    How to delete folder and its subfolders and files in one-click in File Explorer?


    In File Explorer, if you select a folder and click delete, if that folder contains subfolders, File Explorer will popup a message saying it cannot delete the folder because it is not empty. Instead, you have to delete each subfolder and file before you can delete the main folder. Using a Command Prompt, you can delete a folder and all its subfolders by using appropriate command-line options. There should be a way to do that in File Explorer. I wouldn't mind if File Explorer popped up and dialog box saying something like "The folder is not empty. Delete anyway? Y/N"So the bottom line is: I

    File Explorer -- Want number of files per subfolder for a given parent folder

    In File Explorer, I can right-click a folder, choose Properties, and see the total number of files and folders under that folder.

    Here's what I want to do: I want to see the total number of files per subfolder. For example, let's say that Properties tells me that Folder X has 256 folders and 790 files. I want to see the number of files for each of those subfolders. Like so:

    Folder X: 790 files

    Folder 1 of 256: 4 files

    Folder 2 of 256: 6 files

    Folder 3 of 256: 3 files

    . . .

    Folder 256 of 256: 5 files

    How do I get such a list?

    Thanks.
