How to recursively delete from Visual Studios file system? is it even possible? -
when making installer (using visual studio installer) getting rather tired of having manually delete hundreds of individual files every time application changes.
it boggles mind visual studio doesn't seem let recursive delete - instead insisting every file every subfolder deleted in turn. project means either;
a) have spend hours deleting files filesystem view.
b) recreate installer project each time.
is there doing wrong? there workaround people use stuff? sorry if has been posted before, cant seem find right keywords if has - find hard believe no 1 else ever needs remove folders filesystem.
what accepted best method removing folders lots of files?
edit
to clear; isn't real file system. can deleted real files of hard disc without problems. visual studios impression of file system. removing real files not remove reference them, , instead produce more errors telling me files missing.
on linux i'd say
rm -rf /path/to/dir/or/file
since you're on windows browsed web equivalent statement , found this:
rmdir or rd:
rd /s /q
as described duncan smart right here on so: rm -rf equivalent windows?
