Recursive Delete1.0

Recursive Delete is a Java-based application capable of recursively deleting files and folders from the computer which cannot be otherwise removed using the Windows built-in features.It doesn't include complicated options or configuration settings, making it accessible to all types of users, even those experienced with such tools.

Simple GUI and options

When it comes to the interface, Recursive Delete adopts a small window with a simple and straightforward design, where you can resort to the built-in browser to locate and add a folder to the task list.All containing subfolders and files, along with the root directory are taken into account for the deletion operation, which is executed with the click of a button.Unfortunately, there are no options implemented for creating a list with items to include in the task while sparing the rest, or the other way around. The job is quickly carried out.

No setup necessary, besides Java

As long as you have Java installed, you don't need to set up anything else. This means that you can copy the downloaded .jar file to a preferred directory on the disk or on a removable storage unit, in order to directly launch it on any PC with Java.It doesn't make any changes to the system registry, or create files on the disk without your permission. In order to uninstall it, you simply have to delete this file.

Evaluation and conclusion

It worked smoothly in our tests, without triggering the OS to hang, crash or indicate errors. It left a small footprint on the computer's performance, thanks to the fact that it needed a low amount of CPU and RAM to work properly.On the other hand, Recursive Delete has a poor lineup of features and doesn't bring anything new to the table. Nevertheless, you can test it for yourself.
