The actually faster(?) way to delete files on Windows.
Caution
I do NOT claim responsibility for accidentally deleted files. They're not recoverable.
I recently came across this video, and came to the conclusion that this guy has no idea what he's talking about. turns out, I was the one who had no idea what I was talking about 🙃
I want to prove that Windows does have ways to delete files very fast, but it's definitely not as straight forward as I previously thought. I am annoyed by the lack of variety in the testing used in the video, so I will also experiment with different APIs and methods, possibly even hybrid solutions that use multiple threads combined with Windows APIs.
TODO
The project is distributed as a library, allowing you to delete files are fast as possible in your applications, or as an executable for testing purposes.
You can get it on cargo with cargo add win_fast_rm
