LDEL - Long Delete

© 2016 James Barrett - Geekytechguy.net


LDEL deletes a directory and all sub-directories and files .
This will delete paths that are too long for Windows to delete.

I made LDEL out of a desire to support my fellow classmates on Coursera. There have been many people who have run into the long path issues when trying to delete nodejs and bower folders. My hope is that LDEL will fill the gap and help make web development on Windows easier and less frustrating.

LDEL was compiled on Windows 7 x64. If you have an x86 Windows PC (32 bit) let me know if this does not work for you.
